Pros

Pay is good for an entry level job.

Cons

Only way to succeed here is to lie and scheme your way to get meetings. People are promoted solely based on numbers which puts selfish people in leadership positions giving no guidance to the people under them. Top performers are praised for breaking the rules and others are scolded for doing the exact same thing. If you are paired with an Account Executive who will lie and book fake meetings for you - you're set. If not - good luck.

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.
