Pros

- Culture was great pre-CRO. The CRO is no longer at the company. - High levels of autonomy. Meritocracy was a key driver for career success at the company. - Innovative technology, was one of the first true AI cyber security products. - Collaboration between technology team members was great and technical leadership was strong.

Cons

- Previously appointed CRO dramatically changed the culture. Higher turnover rates with great technical and sales people leaving. - Lots of unqualified hires into tech/sales roles with no cyber security experience.

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.
