Pros

Depending on personal commitments, the travel may be a huge positive or a deal breaker! Get to travel almost every week, have some control over my own schedule, and so can negotiate pleasant weeks away, visiting fascinating clients, seeing great technology. Get to stay in beautiful hotels. Love the management, and the fact I can talk to anyone without feeling like I need to go through formal channels.

Cons

A somewhat restricted scope for learning, however as the role grows, and the technology increases, I can only imagine this will change. Already, since I started, training programmes have been put in place. However, there's nothing stopping anyone suggesting learning opportunities to management, so long as there is a business need.

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.
