Pros

- great compensation - great benefits - great culture - great people - great product - will continue to grow (valued at $1.6 billion after only 3 years) - catered meals and barista + cool perks/spiffs This is a great place to work if you're ready to take the next step in your career. Not only do the people here care about your career development, but they also make an effort to help in any way they can. To point out a few good pros: the pay is great (ranked one of the best in bay area), they have incredible spiffs/perks, opportunities for career progression (lots of promotions), great teamwork + culture (super friendly and driven), and an overall positive organization. If you really want to make an impact somewhere, I highly recommend working at Verkada. You'll definitely be a pioneer to their success and I can't imagine working anywhere else.

Cons

We're growing super fast and things tend to change a lot. As a result, there can be a few bumps along the way. Most reviews that are complaining about the organization are people who have come from more established corporations or probably weren't ready for the hustle. We definitely have things to work on, but I'm happy to see management taking steps to improve them.

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.
