Pros

-Free lunch -Nice Office -Fun Work Events

Cons

Overall a pretty bad experience. It’s all a territory lottery. Every territory and every account has been heavily targeted and called on already so it really just depends on if yours is well built out or not. I was given a horrible territory that had historically underperformed. I thought I could fix is with extremely hard work and focusing a lot on building out the channel. The issue is the territory had no money and had already been run through by previous reps so Verkada had a bad reputation. Security camera are sort of a commodity so unless you’re flush with cash schools and companies usually won’t spend 10x for a premium product. The company only gives you 3 quarters to hit a massive quota or you’re gone. Super cut throat and every quarter there is a massive lay off. Good luck.

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.
