Pros

In-person work culture: I understand I'm still in the minority here, but I have to say in my experience, things just get done or get resolved faster when we work in person, even when the newest technologies and work habits are embraced by everybody. Verkada is one of the very few places in silicon valley that understood this, the result is that we're thriving now coming out of the pandemic and not having to do any massive layoffs in 2022 / 23 Knowledge sharing / Real-time feedback: My teammates and I still have access to ELT quite easily, (my CMO is just three desks away, and I can go up and see our CEO / Co-Founders without much fuss.) It's been immensely helpful to have an engaged leadership team that shares the same trenches with my team and me, we are able to tackle problems and build fast. Opportunities for growth and professional development: Verkada's unwavering support, belief in talent, and willingness to take bold steps have been instrumental in our team's impressive growth of 400%. The company's investment in its employees is a testament to their commitment to fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and professional development.

Cons

I don't have any significant cons.

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.
