Pros

A decent paycheck is all I can think of

Cons

Let's see -- where to begin... Completely toxic environment, made complete with sales leadership who prioritize all of the wrong behaviors. They literally started the sales team by hiring from the same pool of high-school tool bag friends to come work together - this ultimately became the leadership and enterprise sellers who were leading the charge. I sat in multiple meetings where females in the office were routinely talked about in unprofessional manner and knew more than a few women who felt really uncomfortable working with them. Everything came to a head when it was discovered that there were people on the sales side who were abusing access to the cameras to take photos of their female employees (without their consent/knowledge) and sharing them to a slack channel -- and then it just got ugly. Your imagination can take it from there. Simply put -- this is not a place you want to be associated with.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and are disappointed to hear that this was your experience. What you have described is not representative of the kind of company we want to be or who we are today. The behavior of the group of individuals you referenced in your post was brought to leadership's attention and those individuals are no longer with the company. At Verkada, we strive to create a company culture that empowers our employees and makes them proud to work here. It is important we acknowledge where we miss the mark, examine where we may have fallen short, and take action to ensure it doesn’t happen again where this is the case.

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.
