Pros

AI in security nothing else.

Cons

No work life balance its running in a desert looking for water. More you tired or get sick your managers will F your KPI and so much pressure. BIG NO for married people as the traveling away from home and super crazy schedules will ruin your life. Just like your catch a tigers tail you can not release it and tired fo holding it. You will have to pay by your own for each business trip by your salary and claim it back in a month. So stay poor and make the company rich in bringing deals.

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.
