Pros

Incredible product. They are the market leader. Local leadership is great. Sales execs are a different story.

Cons

CRO is incompetent and is a puppet for the founder, sales ops rules the org and Sales VPs are puppets for Sops. Sales leadership has no decision making power. The product will carry the company but individuals are numbers on a spreadsheet while the execs fly private and buy themselves rolexes while they cut people’s comp. That new gold sky-dweller was bought by lowering people’s comp.

Pros

-Exceptional autonomy and ownership from day one — you'll have real budget, real responsibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact without hand-holding -The work is genuinely interesting, especially for events and marketing roles with large-scale programs and cross-functional exposure -Verkada as a company is investing in culture and it shows — there's visible effort at the organizational level -Strong learning environment for self-starters who thrive in fast-paced, figure-it-out settings

Cons

-Hustle culture is not just encouraged — it's expected, and it flows directly from senior leadership. Work-life balance is essentially non-existent on the marketing team -The CMO is deeply in the weeds, which creates a trickle-down effect across the team. If you're hoping for strategic leadership and visibility from above, you may be disappointed -Manager availability is inconsistent at best. If you need regular 1:1 time and mentorship to feel supported, this environment will be discouraging -In-office culture is celebrated in San Mateo, but remote/field employees are largely an afterthought on the marketing team. The culture doesn't extend meaningfully outside HQ -Pay increases and promotions are rare. Don't expect to be rewarded for strong performance on any predictable timeline -No care or acknowledgement for excessive hours working, traveling, being away from home
