I applied online. I interviewed at Verkada in Apr 2021
Interview
First steps were a phone interview and an extremely vague event planning project. I asked questions to see what the goal was for the event, but the recruiter said that they purposefully make the details vague so that they can see how we do.
...Okay. I did the project and detailed a few different options to keep it open-ended. I wasn't selected to move forward and the recruiter declined to give feedback because "of company policy." I personally find it to be a red flag when people refuse to give feedback or make their expectations clear, so I think I dodged a bullet here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about how you've worked with various personalities.
Do you research about a company and the diversity before moving forward with any company. Unless you fit the mold, you will most likely have more difficulty interviewing altogether.
The staff seem to be seeking out a certain characteristic for the role.

Question 1
This happened so long ago but I only remember how the interview made me feel.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Verkada (San Mateo, CA)
Interview
-recruiter reached out on LinkedIn; had phone interview
-Zoom interview with member of team
-on-site interview with 5 people
Had a 3 hour on-site interview with the team. Was told during the interview “people who work here really feel like they have no purpose outside of their job here” and “even when people are on vacation they’re still working” so be warned that’s what’s expected of you there.
Received a rejection email that said “we have decided not to proceed with your candidacy for a recruiting role at Verkada”, when I had interviewed for an Executive Assistant role. Super professional considering the amount of time they made me interview with them.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verkada (San Mateo, CA) in May 2023
Interview
Extremely thoughtful, organized, and genuine interview experience. From the initial conversation, all the way to the onsite interview and beyond, I felt supported by every single member of the team (whom was involved with the position). I could not express more my gratitude for the kindness and thoughtful conversations the team provided.
