Pros

As a cyber technoloy specialist at darktrace, my work/life balance is great. Having most of my time revolve around meetings, and some around backend work, this means that I sometimes have very busy weeks and very slow weeks. The ability to relax after a long day, or take off early to run errands has been wonderful and freeing.

Cons

In terms of career growth, promotions aren't hard to come by but branching out into your desired sector is not the easiest. With some teams being in the UK only, especially since I want to move towards the product development team, I wish they had more opportunities to do this within the US.

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.
