Pros

Verkada is a good place to work if you do not have software experience, or fresh out of school. You will meet good people who will become friends. My channel role provided me with a great amount of autonomy. The product is good but struggles in the private segment especially upmarket. You can build a personal brand with your partners and customers that will take you much farther than Verkada. Advice for those without software experience get in learn as much as you can then go work elsewhere. If you have software experience avoid unless you are down bad.

Cons

Quotas are way too high and ever changing. You will witness airheads paraded and promoted for hitting numbers in large US metro areas. There are no rural markets that consistently over perform. Leadership as a whole is highly questionable even more so channel leadership. There is a massive rift between sales and channel. Verkada leadership views the channel as a necessary evil not a true force multiplier. In the channel it is impossible to get promoted if you don't fit a type, sales team is more diverse. Work life balance in the channel can be a struggle. Lastly channel pay is not good.

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.
