Pros

The bottomline is that this is an output-driven organization. If you consistently meet/exceed your respective responsibilities, you'll be fine. The company has tripled in size and reached a $1.6B valuation in 2-3 years. If you think hyper growth is a result of a great product market fit, you're 50% right. The other 50% is a relentless team that has their eye fixed on a profitable exit. What does that look like day-to-day? Hard work. This should be obvious.

Cons

If you thrive in environments that have built out processes, a clear scope of job responsibilities and sub 40-hour work weeks, join a big company. Any successful early/mid-stage startup, Verkada or otherwise, will not give you any of those things. Regarding the recent comments about a questionable culture. My recommendation is to get to know the leader you'll report to and the people you'll work most closely with. The predominant culture you experience will comprise of your interactions with those folks. Be your own judge in determining whether or not those that you interview with would make for good coworkers.

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.
