Pros: Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-energy environment where you can develop and grow as an engineer.

Cons: Sometimes it seems like leadership expects too much, and there are communication gaps.

Pros: It has a startup-y environment.

Cons: You have to do a lot of stuff yourself.

Pros: Every person at this company makes huge contributions to the overall whole. In the case of engineering, every engineer owns large parts of the product. Contributions feel meaningful and self-driven. Senior leadership are all experienced, inspiring, committed to employees' well-being, and of good moral fiber. The company is experiencing exceptional and uncharacteristic success for a startup of its size and funding history. The engineering team is close-knit, with a good balance of work, learning, and fun team activities. Some past activities include: * A group painting party * Trip to the San Francisco Symphony * A day out on the bay on a private boat * Board game nights, etc. Also, your colleagues will encourage you to take care of yourself. It's exciting to show up to the office every day!

Cons: Verkada is moving quickly and growing fast, so you should be comfortable going with the flow at times. If you're an engineer that expects rigorous testing with near-complete code coverage, you're not always going to find that.
