Pros

Young culture that is fun to be in out of college. Lots of parties. Provides pretty good benefits for all the therapy and anti anxiety medication you'll need to exist in the company.

Cons

It's like a battlefield out here. Every week I come back to work and notice multiple individuals missing. Gone! Do NOT work here if you value job security! They fire people left and right, and there will be no warning- you do not need to be underperforming to be placed on the chopping block and it doesn't matter whether you're sales or IT. Everyone is nervous and wondering whether they will be next. Shady business, gives out PIPs loosely to substantiate the mass firings. They will promise you extra benefits after 6 months or a year and try hard to get rid of you the day before you're due for your first bonus or commission. Those who are not fired within the first 12 months usually quit. If you last more than 5 months you're probably one of the most senior people on your team. When you're not having anxiety attacks over being potentially fired at any given moment, you will be working in the sweatshop! :) Your job scope will be wide and you will be expected to know everything about.. well... EVERYTHING! If you're in IT be ready to be the guy who mans the whole operation- pre and post sales. Configurations, setup, tuning, presentation, technical support, sizings, shipping, installs, integrations, whatever. Everything short of the cold calls and initial meetings the sales team set up is on YOU bud! Consistent 10 hour days of chaos await you! Good luck!

Pros

They will hire you with no SDR/BDR experience and allow you to come into an AE role with no sales experience (pro but not worth it)

Cons

Bad leadership, very bad culture, high turnover, no enablement tools for prospecting, NO ONE HITS NUMBER….a lot of negatives. Please read other reviews- it paints a very accurate picture of what’s going on at Darktrace.

Pros

Great technology to sell. Lots of R/D.

Cons

Distant, robotic, executives that haven’t actually sold anything, themselves, in 10 years. Expect to sell technology that’s twice the market rate, and in half the time. You will get a tiny “commission” and 50% of will be held hostage until you complete an arbitrary task. Expect to have more responsibility given to you, with no additional compensation. And expect to be labeled as greedy when you ask why. Expect to close millions in revenue, and be compensated, with a shout-out via email, instead of dollars.
