Pros

I have worked at several tech companies and Verkada has one of the best cultures and career opportunities - part in thanks to the one-in-a-million Head of People. Like other reviews, some highlights are: - Extremely smart and kind coworkers who welcome you and challenge you - Unreal perks: food, coffee bar, fun events, beautiful office - Growth trajectory and new problems to work on every day - Recently raised another round - Product sells itself, clear mission alignment Aside, the longevity of careers on the People team clearly showcases how fantastic that particular team is.

Cons

It's wrong to say no cons since every company has cons. These cons are similar to any growth stage company: work/life balance, very fast-paced, etc. - but nothing different than other places.

Pros

Fun in-office culture. Makes going into the office everyday bearable Decent place if you are just starting your sales career. But only if you have never had any Tech Sales job in your life.

Cons

Mis-aligned leadership Favoritism Cliques Misleading during interview process on how well reps are doing as far as attaining OTE. Compensation is way below the industry average, both in salary and commission No care for their employees, effort and skill mean nothing if you're not a favorite of the leadership Unrealistic quotas with awful territory segmentation. Quotas only based on seniority level without taking the territory the reps are covering or historical data in mind I would never recommend that an experience AE work at this company. The leadership is awful, misguided, and inexperienced. They don't care about the actual skillset or experience their reps have. So many partners and companies have a bad taste in their mouth from bad experiences with this company, which makes it nearly impossible to foster relationships or expand your book of business in a timely manner. Recruiters and leadership will also lie to you about how well the office is doing and the ability to attain OTE. Only 32% of reps in this office are attainting over 50%, and I can't imagine how much worse other offices are doing . Churn is absolutely insane because those who are attaining over 50% have very lucrative zip codes with deals fed to them from leadership and/or pre-existing relationships. Your actual skillset does not make a difference at this company as far as performance or recognition. Stay away if you care about your career and making money long-term. I also need to add that this is the only company I have ever worked for where sexism is abundantly clear. From men clearly objectifying women, to women not being treated fairly when it comes to evaluations and lead distribution. I witnessed women being affected by this firsthand, and let me tell you HR is NOT on your side. Women beware.
