Pros

Good snacks and games in the office.

Cons

1. Waste you time cold calling people all day that hate Verkada and have already been spammed by Verkada in the past. 2. 7,000 seconds of talk time requirement incentivizes bad talk time. 3. AE territories are split up and smaller than they were when AEs were successful 4. Forced to memorize about 500 useless tacky, cheesy sales catch phrases that are just downright cringey and are obviously ineffective. 5. Quotas are unrealistic, the standards expected in terms of number of opps and signals during bootcamp are crazy. 6. Pay: If you continuously hit quota the pay is worth it but at the cost it would take to do that you could pretty much get any other job and make the same amount. My estimate from what I saw about 10% of AEs hit quota. 7. MLM Scheme: Tellmarketing MLM scheme. Don't let them fool you, your job at Verkada is to be a telmarketer that's all you are.

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.
