Pros

There aren’t any. Avoid at all costs!

Cons

Toxic workplace culture- management would frequently berate employees on team calls. Nearly impossible to ask clarifying questions without fear of being berated by management. Unprofessional management- managers would drink regularly on team calls and encouraged others to do the same. Boss often used extremely inappropriate language that would’ve been wrong to use on an all male team, but especially inappropriate with females present. Management as a whole is childish. It’s quite obvious that leadership ability was not taken into account when promoting. CRM and VPN are terrible. You can expect to spend 30 minutes to an hour each day trying to connect to resources Unrealistic quotas- no one was reaching the quota. Don’t fall for the OTE the recruiter tells 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.
