Pros

Incredible people to work with - it's a young crowd, which makes a fun atmosphere. Finally got a 401k, and overall good benefits. You have the opportunity for lots of face time with the top executives; it's nice to be able to have a discussion with the C-level execs one on one.

Cons

You have to be highly adaptable; the company is only 5 years old and is growing fast, so things aren't set in stone yet. For some this is a pro, but if you're not adaptable, you won't enjoy it. For sales, there's a lot of travel, which can hurt work-life balance. Sometimes decisions get made out of nowhere that don't really make sense (part of the adaptability i mentioned before), and sometimes they get explained, sometimes not.

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.
