Cons

-History of poor management and lack of attention to improving culture (until now) -Layout of leadership for offices...the main leadership is in the UK, while other executives spread across the U.S. - makes it difficult to streamline objectives, clarify roles, etc.) -More focused on company growth instead of employee value -Low salaries -Lack of roles/difficult mobility (has improved a bit in the past year) -Benefits/perks don’t compete with other companies

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.
