Pros

-Healthcare -Amazing group of coworkers. You will bond with your coworkers over how toxic and terrible Darktrace is -When you want to leave (and you will trust me) you will be able to get another sales job in the cybersecurity industry quickly

Cons

-Toxic and corrupt work culture trickling down from upper level managmenet -Promotions are based on performance, not on the ability to actually lead a team -Being a top performer still isn’t good enough -Unattainable expectations -Low sales salaries compared to cybersecurity market -Upper level management will harass and belittle you if you are not a top performer -High favoritism. If you’re not a favorite, you’re treated poorly -PTO days are your sick days -No sales automation tools, makes the job very hard -Was not given the proper resources to succeed during work from home. Upper level managment refused to give me a laptop to work, even though the new employees on the team were offered laptops

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.
