Pros

-Ability to travel to different places domestically and get exposure to various types of industry (Health IT, law firms, retail, etc.) -Opportunity for entry-level position and initial exposure to cyber security field

Cons

-No career growth. No training. Quota-driven and no passion towards employees. You're not gaining any real experience that can be useful outside of the company. -Management rarely has your back -No equity or 401k You know the saying: you don't quit a job. You quit a manager. In this case, however, you also quit the job because the career outlook is not so bright here. Culture is toxic and majority (not all) of colleagues are too pompous and think too highly of themselves when most of the legwork has been contributed by the guys in the Cambridge, UK HQ. Go look somewhere else, unless you're looking for an entry-level position and desperately need a job. On paper, you will at least get "experience" but I wouldn't stick here for the long haul. But then again, I wouldn't recommend this place in the first place since it can set you back career-wise and it would be waste of time.

Pros

Darktrace has a truly unique technology for cyber security and it's exciting to be part of a rapidly growing company.

Cons

Relative to the SF office, I've had a lot of success in an entry-level sales position. Most of the office will be your age, so career mentorship is non-existent. From conversations with various colleagues, there is strong dissatisfaction with the inside sales manager and outside sales manager at the SF office. For the most part, you're merely seen as an employee who must be weekly and monthly quotas rather than a colleague. Collaboration is minimal as both inside and outside rep positions are given highly individualized responsibilities. Overall, I would be very careful about wanting to work at Darktrace if you highly value a company who will invest into your long-term professional development, rather than just categorize you as a producer or non-producer. Regarding commission, don't let recruiters fool you into thinking you'll make a six-figure salary within your first year. This is extremely rare. For example, inside sales reps make $250 after taxes for every $100,000 revenue you bring to the company. That's very little. Be sure to evaluate the commission structure very well.

Pros

PR and Marketing. Not sure a company does a better job with branding and reach which is why they generate a lot of buzz and meetings.

Cons

The technology is all smoke and mirrors. Look at the main investors of this company and that should sounds the alarms. In theory the concept sounds nice but the technology simply doesn't work. In the two POC's I saw, we couldn't even get it up and running. Do not work here and do not buy the product.
