Darktrace Company Review as Previous Employee - Enterprise Account Executive Darktrace Employee Review

Poor Management: Many employees express dissatisfaction with the management team, from directors to VPs of sales. They report a lack of support, micro-management, and disappointment in results all around. No Internal Help : VPP does not help to make a standpoint to the employees and can not effectively help individuals feel heard to any capacity. Unrealistic Metrics: Some employees find that the performance metrics set by the company are difficult to achieve, possibly due to negative press, lack of accounts or other factors beyond their control. Limited Opportunities for Account Executives: Some account executives feel that they are not provided with enough opportunities to succeed, and the support from sales development representatives (SDRs) in booking meetings is lacking. Decent accounts only go to previous AE's who originally started with the company many years ago. Biased : Every employee is treated differently. Someone can work remotely in a different country for 1+ months whereas the other team member has to take PTO because they are feeling unwell and would like to work remote for 1-2 days. No standards. High Turnover Rate: Darktrace has a high turnover rate, with the average tenure being less than one year. This may indicate a lack of stability in the workplace. Cut-Throat Culture: The work environment is described as cut-throat, with frequent terminations and little room for true success or job security. Layoffs weekly. Lack of Positive Culture: Employees report a lack of positive culture, with no team outings or positive energy in the office. The company is seen as promoting disappointment rather than fostering a supportive atmosphere. Abrupt Termination: Some employees claim they were terminated abruptly, even when on the verge of closing significant deals, suggesting limited job security. Stressful Environment: This position and company plays a huge role to your mental health in a negative way. Negative Press : Look up "Darktrace Negative Press" and you will find all the information that has been currently going on with the financial standpoint of the company. No Diversity & Lack of women working at the company. Overall, Darktrace offers little potential for financial gain through commissions but a reasonable base salary. Their is a large # of issues related to management, culture, biased hire-ups and little job stability that may make it a challenging place to work for some individuals seeking a stable and supportive work environment.
