Great start so far! - Recensione dipendente - Mid-Market Account Executive presso Verkada

Tremendous potential and great perks

Some execs are stuck in their ways

-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

-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
