Pros

This role is a gateway into the Cyber Security industry for those with no cyber or IT background. The first few months are a steep learning curve but there is plenty of resources and support from a friendly colleagues. As a cyber analyst, there is scope to contribute to product development, travel, meet customers, and support organisations in crisis within the first 18 months. As a self-starter I was able to create opportunities and progress quickly. In 5 years I have moved from junior, to product specialist, to team lead, to technical director. Quickly given lots of autonomy and responsibility. I would recommend to anyone wanting to get into an exciting industry, in a young company with start-up vibes, and with the momentum of a market disruptor.

Cons

Compensation is not comparable to industry average

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.
