I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Verkada
Interview
The first interview was relatively simple and didn't involve any technical questions. It all started when a recruiter reached out to me, and shortly after, I had a call and interview with them. The recruiter was friendly and provided me with information about the role, while I shared details about my background. Apparently, they liked me, and as a next step, I was informed that I would be going for a second interview with the engineers. During this interview, they would be testing my technical and troubleshooting skills.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Verkada (San Mateo, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Only had the first round of interviews so far which went really well. The hiring recruiter was very nice and easy to talk to. I was informed during this interview that I will move to the next interview which I am very excited for.

Question 1
They asked about my interest with Verkada and my background.
Everything was explained beforehand, no surprise. The whole process was very clear, very detailed. The goal is not to trick you, but to test you in a normal environment. It’s a 4 round process, the last one is onsite. Everyone is really nice and welcoming.
Yeah, the screening was very easy. Just asked why I am interested and what I want to do in the future of my life. I have not done the tech interview I am filling this out so I can see what other people say. I hope I do well!!
