Pros

The people in the office are top notch. Makes work worth coming in every day. Free lunch through door dash. If you are looking for something that is really going to push you to be your best and learn a lot, it is great place to start your career. This is a place where I found most people try to grind out 2 years of their career here and ultimately dip for something better. Don't expect long term growth here.

Cons

There is a lack of clear direction for the mid-market segment, which continues to struggle—evidenced by an average attainment of less than 30% across the company, with a significant portion made up of SLED reps. Corporate teams are also facing challenges, with only 13% of reps in my office hitting quota. A key factor contributing to this is the decision to structure mid-market around companies with fewer than 500 employees. Our product is positioned and priced as an enterprise solution, yet we are pushing it on businesses that may not have the budget or operational need for it. Even Verkada acknowledges this, as seen at SKO, where our CRO emphasized a shift toward enterprise sales and adjusted sales plays to penetrate larger accounts. Additionally, the quota structure is fundamentally misaligned with market realities. Regardless of location or historical performance, every rep is assigned the same quota. For example, if a territory historically generates $50K per year, the expectation remains $350K per quarter. Even if a rep doubles their territory’s year-over-year revenue—an objectively strong outcome—it holds no weight if they don’t meet quota. Logical, data-driven quota setting would address this misalignment, but I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon.

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.
