Pros

Tech/Product are great, Marketing team top notch

Cons

Pretty simple: the culture is a joke. I've seen other reviews say cutthroat and that's a great word for it. The term "burn it down" is used often inside Verkada. Meaning, do whatever is necessary to close a deal. Being aggressive is one thing but this mindset permeates the culture and it shows. There's no regard for actions that have long term consequences. It's all about the Quarter at hand and the near term. If things don't change, this will catch up to them. And in terms of sales leadership/management, pretty much every person in those positions is terribly unqualified. I think good leaders help solve problems and help add value. The opposite is true here, for most.

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.
