Pros

- amazing earning and growth potential. Most of the negative reviews on here will be from people who just didn't cut it and weren't able to benefit from the amazing commission opportunity. Don't get me wrong, you have to work hard, and they want the best, but the company supports you all the way and when you win, you can really win big! - quick progression - if you're good, they will recognize it and give you opportunities you just don't get elsewhere. The comments about inexperienced management might be fair but they have support from training and the senior management so for me a young, dynamic management who have literally just been in your shoes, is a good thing. It gives me something to aim for, and soon! I'll take that any day! - the product is amazing and if you can't sell it, I'm not sure why??!! - management are really listening to their staff, they respond to feedback and you can talk to anyone, even senior management

Cons

- training programs could get better still - being successful should never be easy but if you don't like hard work, it won't be for you!

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.
