Pros

- Best Sales Leadership Team I've EVER worked with (worked at 2 other aggressive sales orgs) - Amazing Product/Innovative/Cutting Edge - Autonomy in my role - Extremely high hiring bar on the Enterprise side - I've always felt incredibly supported from my first day of being here

Cons

**Cons listed on our glass door page are very typical of every single sales culture (focus on quota). Verkada has aggressive growth targets and if you don't understand that or think you're going to make a lot of money just by twiddling your thumbs, you're very very wrong. If you come in and follow the playbook, the upside opportunity is phenomenal. If you come in and don't give it everything you have, there's a good chance that Verkada isn't the right fit for you. This is a start-up and we hire reps to hit quota (allowing ample time to ramp up), that's literally what you're being hired for. (This is also why our hiring bar is so high) Every company has growing pains - Verkada has done all and everything to create a really positive environment and they have done a really great job of cleaning up the mistakes of a few bad hires (that happened years and years ago when Verkada didn't have the resources they have today).

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.
