Pros

-Very few if any. None truly come to mind. Traveling, perhaps? Do expect to be challenged on your receipts though. And if you want to travel, there are better jobs out there and countless of other companies you can work for that would give you that opportunity.

Cons

-Culture is egregious. When looking through LinkedIn, very few people stay over a year. That means something. -The beginning of the month you will be asked to go through every opportunity you have ever had. No notes will be taken during this time that you are also berated, so expect to do it again the next month. And you will need to give a range of how confident you are that your opportunities will close. This number is arbitrary but you will be asked to defend it as if there's a logical reason as to why you chose 48% over 49%. -No training -To investors, are you aware of how much a trial costs? Are you aware of the nonexistent due diligence in sending out an appliance? -To leadership, what else is important to you aside from revenue? It's unclear but blatantly obvious that it is not your employees, clients, or product.

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.
