If you're coming straight out of college it's a great opportunity to become an AE quickly and rise up the corporate ranks. If you're an AE with 3+ years experience this isn't the place for you anymore. Verkada has made a huge shift in hiring in late 2021 to hire lower OTE's, and stop hiring high OTE candidates with seasoned talent anymore because they know it's 200% territory based. The BIGGEST downfall of Verkada is not having territorial quotas so New York SLED, Los Angeles corp, San Diego corp all have the same # as South East Alabama corp, West Kentucky corp, and South Dakota SLED... So your life can either be a gravy walk filled with pretentious success, or a nightmare. It's tough because they will not lock you into a territory until after training, and multiple people in my training class was told they would have the same territory. You also are required to go into the office all 5 days a week which is absolutely bizarre post-covid and will burn you out quickly.  Verkada raised quotas 40% since Q2 of 2021 (15%cthen, 15% Q421, and 10%Q2 22) which is absolutely nuts considering our office finished at around 30-40% the past 3 quarters. Overall if you're trying to get into the tech world and don't mind the grind it can be worth it, however if you're making over even 150 OTE I would stay away.

Answer

They will back channel your old jobs which is borderline unethical. Make sure to get it in writing they won’t call anyone but your references you give them.
