Great interview process, everyone is kind. It’s important to talk to people in the office to see if you fit in with the team, as the training process is long and pretty intense.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Verkada (San Mateo, CA) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and my recruiter was very helpful. All of my questions were answered when I reached out. It always felt like I had someone supporting me.
Seems like a great company to work. Interviews were all pleasant, timely, etc. Third interviewer told me I'd be pushed through to final round of interviews and recruiter expressed it as a sure thing. Unfortunately got shut down by a hiring manager that I hadn't even spoken to, which seemed unfair and shortsighted on their part. Felt like a lot of time wasted. Still, from what I can tell it seems like a great place to work. My experience is probably not common.
