Pros

Nothing much to really mention.

Cons

Inexperienced team lead @ APAC with a lack of leadership skill Ability for upward movement and pay increment is very limited since team lead @ APAC only earns $7k+ Zero regard for employee’s well-being Overpromising on bonus (whats the point of giving $1k for bonus? its like slapping the money at beggars) and fake news regarding quarterly bonuses

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.
