Pros

If youre wanting to get into sales verkada helps you fast track the path. Good food in office daily.

Cons

The AAE role is a high-volume, high-output position requiring 45 hours of outbound cold calling per week. The environment is strictly office-based with a mandatory nine-hour workday. While there is a clear path to promotion, the transition requires passing rigorous exams that demand 10–20 hours of study time each. Because the daily call volume is so high, this studying must be done unpaid after work hours. The culture is intensely metrics-driven. Sales professionals are evaluated strictly on their numbers; failing to hit quota often results in immediate termination or a lack of internal support and respect. Furthermore, the onboarding and training programs are minimal, leaving employees to self-teach complex processes. It is a "performance-first" environment where individual development is secondary to hitting the bottom line.

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.
