Run for the hills - Recensione dipendente - Account Executive presso Verkada

There is so much that its hard to fit in a glassdoor post but if you have any technology experience at all you need to run the opposite direction and never look back. Ignoring the fact that you are wildly underpaid and equity doesn't vest until 1 year at the company which is very rare to make it that far, it's a horrific sweat shop. You have managers with less tech sales experience than most people they hire. They keep a "hustle dashboard" that shames people into making more cold calls throughout the week and for some bizarre reason is almost exclusively tied to "trials" which are just trial cameras that people end up needing to game the system to look good for a detached management team. If you aren't in San Francisco then forget it, they care less than zero about you. For over a year in Austin people requested that Sales Trainings not be held at 6pm CST or later but HQ refused, 3 or 4 PST and that was final. As others have said its a complete lottery regarding your territory. You could cover Manhattan or LA or you could cover North Dakota and it doesn't make a difference your quota is the same. They basically work the poor BDRs to death and don't say a word, those people were working 80 hour weeks including Saturdays because Verkada made it seem like thats what they needed to do. There are a million other fantastic technology companies out there. Unless you badly want Tech Sales experience and this is your only option, run the opposite direction of Verkada and never look back.
