unlikely to refer anyone here - Account Executive Verkada Employee Review

I say this with utmost certainty and ask that you go beyond this review to ask others at Verkada if this is accurate: Of a 500 person company, 24 sales reps left in Q4 alone. 12 weeks, 24 reps gone (from the SALES team - who knows if this number increases as we start looking to other departments). If this doesn't make you cringe and rescind your application immediately, I'm not sure what to say to you. I'm writing this review to save at least ONE intelligent person from taking this ridiculous job. I will echo a prior review here that I felt was spot-on. Please read the negative reviews before making a decision to work here. If you're ok with what you read, by all means, go for it! To speak to the ratings I have given: -Verkada does not have company values (although reps have been asking for this for at least 6 months). -Verkada does not have diversity or inclusion (white men only). -Verkada does not have work life balance (12 hour days - mainly cold calling - they blame this on "startup culture" and having to "hustle". I'm here to tell you that if you can blame these outlandish expectations on "startup culture" then you are very, very naive and I am even MORE SO implore you to check out what other "startups" have to offer and how they treat their employees). Lastly, I think I was addicted to checking slack (to update my manager for the 6th time that day that no, my forecast has not changed or yes, I did go to the restroom 4 minutes ago and that is why I'm not at my desk "making dials." My bad). Hope this helps!
