I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verkada (Singapore) in Nov 2023
Interview
Recruiter was very professional and had good communication throughout the process.
The interview with the hiring manager was strange such that he mentioned 2 things:
- territory is not yet defined
- they didnt have budget confirmed for the headcount yet
As an account executive, territory is one of the biggest factors in our success so i felt it was a little odd that they were interviewing before determining what the territory would be
It was mentioned during the interview process that they would hire 10 more AEs in the next 12 months for the same region, doesn’t sound like a green flag to me because that would mean the same pie would be split amongst more people, less TAM for the AE
Nonetheless it does seem like a great product to sell
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Verkada (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
Very efficient and rapid interview process.
Step 1 - Screening call with HR
Step 2 - Call with Sales Manager
Step 3 - Call with Sales Operations to run through previous performance metrics
Step 4 (final) - In person interview at their office. Consists of a culture fit meeting and a mock discovery call with a prospect
Although I didn't get the offer, Jasmin from the HR team was very efficient and helpful throughout the whole process. She gave a very strong first impression of Verkada from the go.
The initial recruiter did a great job at selling the interview process and awesomeness of the people I would be speaking with. ...They all seemed to be busy with their minds up prior to the meeting. I understand it is a competitive position but it felt like an audition where the director already made up his mind
basic interview questions - had to drive down to do an interview with multiple people, it essentially took a day, just to not get the job. Felt like we could have done it remote.
