Pros

Great products, great platform, creating the forefront of the technology

Cons

The BDR team is smart, motivated, and ambitious, but many are still relatively inexperienced when it comes to understanding how critical relationship-building is within the enterprise sales process. With the volume of cold-calling activity taking place daily, there’s a risk of over-saturation within prospect accounts. In some cases, this can negatively impact brand perception, lead to outreach being ignored, or even result in the Verkada.com domain being blocked within organizations. This is happening with the Channel Partner environment as well. This was the situation with the territory I took over when hired. This prevented me from building pipeline and creating success in the territory. It's my understanding that this is common and the reputation of the company.

Pros

Good management. Fun office environment. However, the culture is a little bit of that frat/tech bro culture. So if that is what you are looking for great. if not, not great

Cons

The territories are not created equal

Pros

Pros Industry-leading product Strong brand and market momentum Talented coworkers Great learning environment Fast career growth opportunities Product innovation and strong customer demand

Cons

High turnover and low retention of experienced talent Only a handful of employees remain from when I started 2.5 years ago Territory changes and account reassignments Increasing quotas year over year Reduced commission opportunities Very little female representation, especially in leadership roles Culture can feel overly centered around a "bro culture" Leadership promotions do not always appear aligned with performance, leadership ability, or tenure Limited predictability for long-term planning and career development
