Pros

The company is very horizontal, which means you get to speak to C-level every day if needed You get a lot of freedom to set up sales in a way that works for you Lots of travelling involved Your job is quite technical for a sales job, and you will receive a lot of insight into security in general (and of course the best security tool out there) Amazing team - expect to go for drinks at least once a week and to make friends in the workplace

Cons

There are a lot of possibilities to get training-on-the-job, but you would have to arrange for it yourself You are expected to work from your closest office at set times (so no working from home)

Pros

Autonomy & Independence: You get great autonomy to build your own schedule. It operates very much like a true field sales motion, which is great if you value independence. Perks: There is a high degree of expense freedom, and the Sales Kickoffs are a definite highlight.

Cons

The company is currently gasping for air and is super misaligned. There is absolutely no sense of direction. The Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy obviously doesn't work because leadership changes strategy it every Half because of poor performance . Turnover is INCREDIBLY HIGH, people was congratulating me that I made it at Darktrace more than a year when I left, which is never a good sign for a company. CEO REPVUE- stated that only 15% of reps hit their goal attainment at Darktrace from it's reviews. If you apply here, you need to know exactly what you are getting into and be willing to work extremely hard just to help dig the company out of a hole.
