Pros

I started working at Verkada 2.5 months ago which is not long but I can already say that I loved it here starting not even from day 1 but from the first round of my interview process. The recruiting and EA team was just so great and supportive all the way until I came to the office. The environment here is just right for anyone who has creative ides and wants to bring them to life. At Verkada you have the right tools and supportive team to help you do so. I also love our office. Plus we are constantly rethinking the way we can make our workspace better so it aligns with the employees' needs and feels like a place where you want to return. Verkada office is conveniently located next to the CalTrain station and all the nearby restaurants, coffee shops, gym, parking lot. The company provides catering, snacks and drinks on site which I think is a great benefit. Also during this challenging times Verkada does covid testing on site for all employees to make sure we stay healthy here. You can see Verkada constantly appearing in different top ratings of the best startups to work at, and this is true! It is exciting to be in a company with such a solid product, nice culture, great people that you can lean on and learn from and just see yourself grow individually and with the team.

Cons

none (wish there was an office in SF but that's the only disadvantage ahaha)

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
