Pros

Amazing coworkers and team so far, high energy environment, really cool office in a great location and cool perks. LA office is brand new so feels like you are directly responsible for day-to-day growth and change. Get to work immediately under Director which is helpful when he's available. A lot of responsibility and autonomy early on and easy to see the growth opportunity.

Cons

Definitely a lot of work though still early in the role - kind of left to your own after training to learn product and process. Start up environment so some simple things like getting computer set up are still disorganized. Director is spread thin, which can be challenging for newer hires, but makes an effort to be available and seems to really want to support the team and everyone to succeed. Talking to other reps seems like first few months are tough but it smooths out quickly

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.
