Pros

- fun people though everyone in inside or outside sales is looking for a new opportunity ASAP - young environment - some commission - good health dental etc - if you are an AE you don’t get anything through inside sales.

Cons

- extreme micromanagement - one track path (sales) - favoritism and corrupt management - no training - extreme unprofessional behavior - have to fight for your own commission - super cheep: keep say we are growing but 0 reward... - no 401k Everyone who is in inside or outside sales is on their way out. Darktrace hires awesome employees, yet looses them in a 6month to 1 year period due to their own lack of investment. Culture is awful. They recruit young athletes to exploit their work ethic but give them 0 tools, compensation etc.

Pros

Coworkers, excellent solutions, occasional happy hour, travel, the life of expenses, the espresso, great team dynamic, advise and direction from leads/managers.

Cons

The U.K. (Management, no clue who is pulling the strings), lack of growth, employees are under-valued, blatant disregard for personal growth, hectic environment, employees are seen as disposable, strict with bonus or raise, and finally shady business behind closed doors.

Toxic doesn’t even do it justice

Pros

The product. The counterparts - that’s all

Cons

I don’t know where to begin. I contemplated this review, but after seeing friends and counterparts burn out and take on therapy and anti-depressant medication because of this job, I think it is only fair to warn future prospective employees. You are never good enough here. They look at each day to determine how you are as a performer and cannot see the big picture such as overall yearly performance, or even quarterly. You spend hours forecasting each week, but very little time, talking about strategy to actually move the deal forward. Micromanagement doesn’t even brush the surface. Even as a top performer, you will be evaluated based on how many calls you make each day, even though the job is described as an account executive and manager. Threats are made and feedback is NOT taken to heart. There is so much potential here but it’s so far from a healthy work environment
