Pros

- Culture: High energy, fast paced, young, social, super supportive (which can be rare in sales) - Renumeration/ Compensation: Uncapped earning potential, very favorable commission structure, achievable targets - Work/Life Balance: Great, the team is very flexible on working arrangements as long as you are performing you can fit in whatever activities, appointments or trips you like (very outcome focused rather than hours/days focused). - Product: Darktrace's software is world leading and honestly it's not overly difficult to sell because there is no one else in the world doing what we are doing. With no direct competitor the tech sells itself. - Sales process: Very quick sales process which, makes it a very exciting environment to work in. You are in charge of the full sales process from lead gen to closing the deal/ ongoing account management. There are resources e.g. inside sales, to help you manage all your workflow but its awesome getting to control the whole sales process as its like running your own little business. - Management: So incredibly supportive, you also have direct access to everyone in the firm including the CEO, so an amazing amount of resources and mentors at your fingers. - Perks: Training overseas in Cambridge, San Fran or Singapore, health care included, awesome office at Australia Square with view of the Harbour Bridge

Cons

None - although this job would not suit someone who is passive in nature and likes having their hand held throughout the entire process. Need to be a self starter and motivated!

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.
