Pros

Made a lot of friends. Free lunch. Nobody really cares about surface-level perks tho ;)

Cons

We all know the saying: "If it's too good to be true, it probably is!" This is VERY true for Verkada. All of the positive reviews exist because leadership picked their favorites and asked them to come on here and write positive reviews. Having worked there for over a year, I feel highly confident in my claim. If you like the following, then this is the place for you: - micromanagement - sexual harassment scandals (google them! it's true!) - being underpaid - having no input to anything whatsoever - getting a new manager every quarter (not kidding - this happened to me and many others) - quarterly raise in your quota but not your comp - paying for parking - the facade of inclusion when underrepresented minorities are continually overlooked - fraternity culture - being forced to go into an office setting when there is A LITERAL GLOBAL PANDEMIC STILL HAPPENING - drug-use in-office (I'm talking the hard stuff) By the way, if you don't pass the demo at the end of Bootcamp -- you'reeee outta there! Godspeed.

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.
