Verkada reviews

Allow me to elucidate the reality of the situation. Recruiters, burdened with formidable hiring quotas, will likely bombard you with one or more of the following disingenuous proclamations. (We hear them lying on the phone every single day). As a fellow sales professional, I extend my utmost respect and urge you to recognize the following as utter fallacies. Proceed to discern which of these falsehoods were uttered to you, and read along for what these crappy lines actually mean. 1. You can earn life-altering sums. XYZ representative amassed an astronomical $3774674637478343498 in commissions, and you can too. - Indeed, your life will transform, but decidedly for the worse. 13% of the global workforce hits their target - the ones given the pot of luck. 1 / 30 reps hit their fully ramped quota in FY'24 in APAC. 2. We are in 'hyper-growth mode'. We are going public soon and for context, our nearest competitor is trading at $xyz. - While we won't offer you the base salary commensurate with the relentless 'call blitzes' and '500 emails a week' you'll be subjected to, we will bestow upon you equity. Verkada is poised to go public, . You will have the opportunity to helm this role. You'll be the CEO. This equity narrative has been perpetuated for the past four-five years. Your equity will vest over four years, and 99% of the workforce has a tenure of less than one year. Stupidity. 3. We want you to be successful. - CRAZY LIE!!! . They merely entice you into the role of an SDR or BDR, where your primary function is to amplify their message, significantly reducing their cost of sales. They couldn't care less about your success. "We just want you to make money" translates to making 1000 calls, running demos, and when you fail to meet targets, they'll discard you to hire another naïve salesperson to perpetuate the cycle. 4. Our partners ADORE our technology and revel in selling it. You will secure substantial revenue from partners. This statement is patently false. I vehemently implore you to contact IT resellers in Australia and solicit their opinions on Verkada. If 2 out of 10 resellers have: a). Heard of Verkada b). 'Adore' selling it to their clientele Accept the position. Otherwise, don't squander your time. You cannot thrive at Verkada without partners, and partners in Australia DESPISE Verkada. Colleagues, there is genuinely NOTHING commendable about working at Verkada, save for the $20 lunches and travel allowance, mere enticements to lure you into accepting the job and committing to a five-day workweek. The frontline managers and 'leadership' are subpar salespeople, having peddled transactional technology their entire careers. Consequently, you will glean absolutely NOTHING of value here. I trust this insight proves beneficial.

A cut throat environment - everyone loves you when you are doing well, but as soon as you don't hit a month you are treated very poorly and risk loosing your job very quickly - you are not offered any guidance or training, but will be fired as your 'just not cutting it'. Stress levels in this toxic environment are through the roof and it's a very negative culture to be a part of.
