Pluspunten

- Can be easy to make friends if your sociable as they try to hire people with similar interests - Interview process is quick and straight forward so it’s relatively simple to land a job (unless your GPA is under 3.5, even if you’ve been out of school for 5 years) - You’re given a lot of responsibility and autonomy, particularly as a fresh grad - Really cool technology that only seems to be getting more advanced

Minpunten

- IT TAKES A FULL 12 – 16 MONTHS TO GET PAID OUT ON YOUR COMMISSION. Commission structure is absurd (some have even called it criminal). Some employees leave before they receive 100% of their commission so it’s a way for the company to keep more money in their pockets - C-Suite each made millions from the IPO yet give their employees no stake in the company and pay them laughable base salaries (especially for enterprise sales in US). By accepting a job here, you're working tirelessly to make the rich, richer - No care for employee well-being. Churn and burn culture. Very few people make it to the two-year mark. - Middle management has no leadership training or skills, leaving them clearly overwhelmed - No sales enablement tools - Proprietary CRM is really bad and crashes many times a day - Often put in positions where prospective customers feel pressured to sign agreements on a monthly basis - Employees must report to multiple stake holders (team lead, director, VP, sales opps) on the same thing, which is incredibly inefficient for everyone involved - No infrastructure in place to make remote work successful as it relates to team bonding, morale, fun, etc. - Tech recourses and Directors are very over worked, underpaid, and under appreciated, yet so critical to closing business - Lots of fake 5 star reviews - You are not the exception and neither is your office (geography does not matter, it's as bad as these reviews say company wide) – please stick out your job hunt and find an organization that will value you

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
