Pros

Great onboarding - on site in Cambridge and London If you show results you can quickly advance Great CEO in Poppy

Cons

Lousy Go-to-Market strategy - no customer analysis shared with sales, no segmentation and no partner strategy, just a total anarchy when it comes to contacting customers and partners Young and unexperienced middle management - absolutely no support to individual employees, they are just executing orders and have no authority when it comes to coming with new ideas and initiatives

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.
