Pros

Peers at Verkdada are genuine and thoughtful. The workplace team tries hard to make the office fun. The in-person life is only bearable because of the free lunch and snacks. Commuter benefits of $200 for FTEs are also decent, but usually do not cover the full cost of commuting.

Cons

Many of us who don’t live in San Mateo county commute at least two hours a day. That’s roughly 40 extra hours a month just to sit under HQ’s fluorescent lights. Yes, they feed you—but after weeks of commute exhaustion, it really starts to make a hybrid setup feel reasonable. The frustrating part is that VPs expect five days a week in the office, while they themselves average two. And if you need to work from home for even a day, you’re made to feel guilty for it. At times, the mandatory five-day in-person policy feels more like a way to use employees as free test subjects for their cameras than a collaboration.

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.
