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

Verkada develops new product lines at an incredible pace that have strong product market fit in a massive addressable market. Together these product lines are clearly better than alone and this makes our customers never look elsewhere (very little churn). There is barely any competition in our market and the product basically sells itself as long as you put in effort. If an in-office environment is what you've been craving for since 2019, there's only one place and that's Verkada. The thriving office is filled with passionate employees that build human connections beyond work. The office is beautiful, workplace just launched our very own hot-food cafeteria with multiple options for lunch and dinner. You can tell, we really care about the fast-paced culture and have off-sites and in-office events that make my own friends who come wish they worked here. Top leadership is as experienced as they get and there's a clear biased to promote from within. We have a high-performance culture, I suspect most bad reviews are from employees who are underperforming or have been recently terminated.

Cons

We can better integrated engineering / sales / marketing together, feels a little silo'ed sometimes. You probably won't find a good balance of work/life culture but that's understood given at the stage we're at as a startup. Work is so much fun, that we don't care for the most part.
