Pros

Technology is genuinely different, it's an easy sell to customers. AI is a cool space to work in and these guys are shifting a lot of product Opportunities for progression are above average - a lot of internal promotions if you work hard, irrespective of age You will learn a lot about cyber security A lot of the roles are pretty varied, so you get exposed to different teams and keeps things interesting. Nice offices

Cons

You have to roll with the punches... they are still working out internal processes and so things are changing quite a bit. Classic scaling up challenges but can make things a bit chaotic...

Pros

Autonomy & Independence: You get great autonomy to build your own schedule. It operates very much like a true field sales motion, which is great if you value independence. Perks: There is a high degree of expense freedom, and the Sales Kickoffs are a definite highlight.

Cons

The company is currently gasping for air and is super misaligned. There is absolutely no sense of direction. The Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy obviously doesn't work because leadership changes strategy it every Half because of poor performance . Turnover is INCREDIBLY HIGH, people was congratulating me that I made it at Darktrace more than a year when I left, which is never a good sign for a company. CEO REPVUE- stated that only 15% of reps hit their goal attainment at Darktrace from it's reviews. If you apply here, you need to know exactly what you are getting into and be willing to work extremely hard just to help dig the company out of a hole.
