Pros

I get to speak to, work with and learn from C level management on a daily basis. Great relationship with my manager and other colleagues. A very young office (and company) so I've made genuine friends. They expect a lot from you but are fair about it; if you work hard you will see rewards. I've been allowed to move between departments to find my feet and have now settled in a role where I've been able to mould my job to what I like doing and am best at. I have been told by our CEO in EMEA that there's "always" room for progression. It's a really big successful start up which means that you'll need to be proactive if you identify something that could be improved upon. We're still regularly coming across scenarios that we've never thought of before due to the success and massive growth and management are very open to sensible, thought out solutions that would make life easier moving forwards.

Cons

No HR rep in London so it all has to go through very busy managers.

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.
