Pros

If you succeed in sales, you can earn a lot of $. Great experience. Lots of autonomy. Really great coworkers (high achievers, like minded). Growing like crazy

Cons

Early stage of new office so lot of teething as process figured out. Monthly forecasting which is high intensity and high stress. Travel can get tiresome.

Pros

Working at Darktrace is incredibly exciting and challenging. The company is doing really well and growing rapidly - and the product we sell is really unique in the industry. The work is dynamic and never boring. Employees are expected to really own their work, which gives us a lot of responsibility. You also get a direct line to the executives who really make themselves available to the employees -- I don't know of another company where you get to work side by side with C-level executives and even board members (especially in an entry level position). They throw you into the deep end but the result is really valuable and you learn so much about growing and scaling a business. The culture is demanding but hard work is rewarded generously and swiftly -- a lot of the sales reps have already been promoted to regional managers in less than a year. It's pretty clear that if you put in the work, you can go far in this company. My co-workers are amazing -- we are pretty tight-knit and hang out a lot after work. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better experience post-college. I've learned more than I could have ever imagined at a first job and I think the room for upward mobility is higher than at any other place I could have worked.

Cons

The company is growing really, really fast and the fast-paced and demanding culture isn't for everyone. Like others have mentioned, this job really suits people who thrive with a lot of autonomy and less hierarchy or set-in-stone culture. Others may prefer a more structured or established environment. As with all companies that are growing this quickly, there can be bumps in the road. It all really comes down to knowing yourself and what you want in a job.
