Pros

-Fun people to work with -Good benefits -Friday lunches are provided in most offices

Cons

-Extremely toxic workspace -Sexist values at every level of this company (the CEO has even addressed it over email) -All of the management has 0 experience managing people, they mostly received these promotions due to tenure alone -It is completely evident that the company cares a lot more about revenue and keeping up appearances than it does about its employees

Darktrace lied about commission

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

good coworkers and good location

Cons

LOW COMMISSION. commission is 2.5% of when a deal closes and 2.5% a FULL YEAR later. Spoiler alert: you won’t make it that long. long office hours and travel schedule. expected to complete all travel outside of business hours. (??) can be on the road 3-5 days a week and the base is low for that travel. Opportunities are not allocated systematically and management plays favorites. Office environment is miserable as there are too many employees for the space — it’s cramped and smelly, no one wants to be there. Expected to prospect for own deals even though there is supposedly an inside sales team. NO work from home policy in ANY circumstances. No exceptions. Expected to front all travel expenses and then file for reimbursement—but no more that twice a month. expenses can reach thousands in that time. Management in the headquarters are not engaged with the issues at branch offices.

Pros

Great people, really fun times at the office but that's about it, they also hire with no experience

Cons

They will hire you as AE if you went to a good school , don't forget to fake your GPA to 4.0 tho. So many micromanagers that will tell you to do more quantity over quality, not ideal commission structure, no one is training you
