Pros

The compensation is amazing for a first or second job out of college. The commission percentages here are extremely high for a tech sales job and the product is top tier and easy to sell. With that being said, it is a sales job, so you eat what you kill. 95% of the people that I’ve met here are highly intelligent and well educated, which makes the working environment more sophisticated.

Cons

Terrible culture, it’s NOT toxic, but it feels nonexistent at times. Employees are not social with one another which makes remote work a lot more difficult. My “team” doesn’t feel like much of a team, more like an assortment of individuals under one manager. With that being said, this isn’t soul crushing, just something to get used to.

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.
