Pros

1. Great work colleagues coming straight from school 2. There are a couple of people in upper management who truly mean well but are outnumbered by those who do not care

Cons

1. Corrupt management (former autonomy management) 2. Very bad perks compared to similar successful tech companies in the Bay Area with similar turnover (a search on Linkedin for people who have worked at Darktrace will give you a feeling for average turnover, last time I checked it was around 1.5 yrs, look at similar successful tech companies in the Bay Area and the perks they offer in comparison: look up this on business insider: average-employee-tenure-retention-at-top-tech-companies) 3. Shadow politics: I would run the following websites: invoke capital team, the executive team on Darktrace through this tool: "WayBackMachine", it will help point out which executives used to work there, I would have questions for your interview about why some of the changes exist or what may have happened for them to move on To summarize, if you still wish to work for this company, even after reading through the reviews, I would demand an above average salary for taking on the risks to your career and health, especially given the data above.

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.
