Pros

Rapid growth and nice swag

Cons

The engineering culture is toxic. Absentee executive management means very poor communications and coordination across the engineering org. It's cut throat to try and get a bonus/raise/promotion. Verkada is really a sales company with an engineering dept, it's far from a tech company. They routinely release products way before it's ready, but as long as it sells, that's all that matters. Don't buy into the hype of the company valuation, they're basing it off the company being a SaaS, when in fact Verkada is a hardware company which has a much lower multiple.

Pros

Big VC funds - they throw a lot of money into new ideas and new ways to bring in sales Generally lovely people in the London office Great new office with many perks Stocked fridge & snacks Good ramp for the first 9 months (You will make good commission for the first 9 months) US are hitting numbers so the business in general are doing great. Not EMEA missed every quarter!

Cons

No working from home at all - even throughout covid expected to go into the office. Fratt boy culture ex Meraki team in London office run the show. Presenteeism!!! Good first 9 months if you hit your low ramp number - following this absolutely no way of making commission - numbers extremely high Back to school mentality - all about how many calls you have made and how many meetings booked No SDR function Company paid employees to take vaccines so they can go to the office Company paid employees with vouchers to write good reviews Everything is ran by the founder in the US who does not care about people just numbers No HR present - which is needed due to the in appropriate 'jokes' in the office EMEA management first time roles for those in current positions - 0 people/leadership skills They will fire you if you miss your number - they fired 4 sales people without good reason last quarter to save managements head. (Yes it's that kind of company)
