Pros

A fast paced role (AE) with good internal growth opportunities. Filled with ambitious young professionals. If you are looking for a challenge you have found it. A ton of autonomy that is matched by the expectations. Work hard play hard with the resources available to succeed. Growing fast and you see improvements daily/weekly. Personally love working here, if you like travel and are an adaptable person it's a great role.

Cons

- Past management problems (rectified, and active conversation to continue improvement) - Young company so naturally internal processes are inconsistent at times - Execs need to organize an explicit top-down plan to address internal concerns

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.
