I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Verkada (San Mateo, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Initial recruiter, then a manager, after that they have you do a prospecting demo and if they like you an offer.
The manager interview is just a screening, they are only there to filter out candidates and answer a few questions. They have a ton of candidates and are required to filter the pool, so treat it as such. Make sure you find out what their "Manager priorities" are and focus on hitting each on to just get moved on in the process, they don't give feedback or anything beyond the 30 minute call. It gets tricky because even if you don't mesh well with that manager they are not typically the "hiring" manager, they pick candidates from the presentation finalists so collectively are screening for other managers teams. Interesting way to do it but it seems the lower level sales is just there to run activity and schedule trials, the playbook is there and they have reps to fill the spot. Reach out to other reps who work there to understand the position, growth and culture.

Interview
Very efficient and rapid interview process.
Step 1 - Screening call with HR
Step 2 - Call with Sales Manager
Step 3 - Call with Sales Operations to run through previous performance metrics
Step 4 (final) - In person interview at their office. Consists of a culture fit meeting and a mock discovery call with a prospect
Although I didn't get the offer, Jasmin from the HR team was very efficient and helpful throughout the whole process. She gave a very strong first impression of Verkada from the go.
The initial recruiter did a great job at selling the interview process and awesomeness of the people I would be speaking with. ...They all seemed to be busy with their minds up prior to the meeting. I understand it is a competitive position but it felt like an audition where the director already made up his mind
basic interview questions - had to drive down to do an interview with multiple people, it essentially took a day, just to not get the job. Felt like we could have done it remote.
