Fast Paced and So many Opportunities for Growth
Pros
It's a very fast paced environment which opens the door to a lot of opportunities for growth and learning. I am able to wear a lot of different hats and have a large say in the building of our team, as well as the sales team. The employees here are all great and have fostered a culture that has healthy competition, and anyone is more than willing to take the time out of their day to help. Working very cross-functionally with marketing, sales, leadership, solutions engineers, and product has only proven that. I also have to compliment the sales ops team specifically, who jumps on ways to make internal processes better. The process for this is not long and drawn out, and they are very open to feedback and ideas. Outside of my own role, Verkada does a lot to show employees that they care. The benefits are impressive (gym, commuter benefits, covid vaccine coordination, meals, investing in team bonding, etc). This team makes it exciting to come in every day!
Cons
Being a start-up, you'll still find some growing pains such as systems improvements, having to build programs from scratch, etc. I thrive in roles where your to-do list changes every day, but I know this isn't everyone's jam. We have quarterly projects and goals, but we are adding new smaller projects day to day in order to grow just as quickly as the org. The parking is growing more difficult at HQ because we're outgrowing the lot.
