Pros

Wish I had more for this section.

Cons

Wish I took the reviews on here seriously before joining this company. In the Chicago office, specifically, 18/30 reps are new hires within the past 4 months. Let that sink in... more than half of their reps haven't been there longer than 6 months. Reason being? High turnover, no job stability, lies during interview process, unfair territories, no structure, inexperience management, etc. Overall, majority of new reps hired have been extremely disappointed with their experience so far. Word of advice: don't trust a word recruiters say during interviews. They will lie about the role to attract top talent. If I knew anyone was interviewing here I'd tell them to go anywhere else.

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.
