Pros

Darktrace is unique in that you are given an enormous amount of responsibility at a young age, all of which is applicable to future careers as well. Day to day work is both challenging and rewarding, which is difficult to achieve in a job right out of college. The work life balance is unmatched, the people are impeccable, and working for a company as successful as Darktrace is always a bonus. It's rare that you find a company with great employees, great hours, great pay, that also provides tremendous experience.

Cons

At any company that is looking to be successful there will be pressure on the employees. Darktrace is reasonable about this, but it's important to come into this position knowing that you will be held to standards. It's not a walk in the park, and having a competitive spirit and a yearning to perform is critical.

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.
