Darktrace reviews

Rough comp plan, disconnect from HQ in UK which manifests itself as fear mongering. The role is promoted as an autonomous, entrepreneurial role yet when shelter in place hit due to covid there were literally 5 mandatory meetings at 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm to ensure 'productivity'. high travel outside of work hours back when traveling was still a thing. And to top it off not much opportunity for career/professional development. Management will tell you about how they were promoted within 9 months of working there but that was a different time. No real help from inside sales and now that in person marketing events are a thing of the past your best bet for lead generation is gone. Ask the person you interview with how many members of the team actually hit their quota.

This is a security company and the leadership will not hesitate to remind you of that fact. This may be a slightly unnerving for employees coming from non-security or government backgrounds. This is a non-issue for Security-conscious employees as well as those with federal government experience. This is not a typical Bay Area startup. The company is focused on its growth and has forgone common Bay Area perks as a result. You definitely can't bring your dog to work and there are no amenities beyond free coffee and Friday lunch. Expect to wear business casual at a minimum. Feedback from both customers and management can be lacking, which is frustrating. Outside training opportunities are non-existent and there are no funds available for training on personal time. A 401K was recently implemented but is significantly below the average match offered at other Bay Area companies. Personal disability insurance is not offered. Telecommuting exists but is generally frowned upon. A more liberal policy will go a long way, especially for those who commute absurd distances in the Bay Area or have children.
