Pros

Really smart engineers that have built great products. Good revenue growth the last couple of years. Company is extremely undervalued since they haven’t gone up for a round of funding in more than 2 years. Good office perks and decent benefits. Most people are nice, helpful, and overall good co-workers. You’ll learn a lot and get a lot of ownership if you want that. For sales: some territories are great and some are terrible. Some managers are great and some are just okay. OTE is sub par but if you are getting 150 - 300% of goal, you’ll make a ton of money. Negotiate your offer, they don’t get enough equity to AEs.

Cons

Depending on your role, org, and seniority you could have a great time at Verkada or not. Verkada is good for people starting their career or very senior individuals. Compensation is below average for most roles outside of engineering. The amount of RSUs they give out now is pathetic. The overall company feels understaffed. Due to that, a lot of orgs and people are overworked. (Finance, marketing, Business Systems). Hans and CFO are super biased regarding backgrounds, where you graduated from school, where you last worked so hiring is just off overall at the company. Lack of diversity overall. Company isn’t open to remote for most roles.

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.
