Best Place I've Worked

3/20/2024 - Account Executive at Salt Lake City, UT

Approves of CEO

Pros

Verkada has given me opportunity for mentorship, growth as a rep, success in sales, and growth in my career. I'm well aware that past reps have posted negative reviews here, but that has not been my experience. I love the office culture, the leadership I've worked with, and I've seen a lot of success as a rep. I have promoted more than once, and I have a clear path to management. I feel supported here, and I'm given the tools I need to excel. This is by far the best company I have worked for.

Cons

While the base salary may be a bit lower than other tech companies in Utah, the product sells itself, the quotas are attainable, and the company is growing quickly. It's a great time to join.

Why Work Here

Help Create Safer, Smarter Buildings

Whether you’re helping build new products from the ground up or working with customers to connect them with the solutions that best fit their needs, you are contributing to making organizations and their people safer. We’re reimagining the enterprise security industry by building technology that extends beyond improving physical safety – we enable teams to optimize their operations and create productive workspaces.

Solve Big Challenges

Big problems represent even bigger opportunities. Not only does our software unlock the capabilities of computer vision and machine learning, we’re able to leverage that power to improve safety at scale.

Take Strategic Risks

We believe in thinking outside of the box, taking risks and turning obstacles into success. This attitude is baked into the organization, which encourages the team to be innovative, happy and successful.

Think For Yourself

We believe we can do things better by questioning assumptions and beliefs. Rather than letting best practices define what we do, we work hard to create new systems and knowledge from scratch.
