Is it true that verkada has quarterly layoff ? Also how is the engineering culture ?
10-20-30-40 vesting seems like a scam to keep you in for long.
Has the culture improved after the bad press ?

I know AEs can get cut if they don’t do well or show effort after 3/4 quarters.
Engineering culture was never bad. The bad press just made things suck for awhile. And the vesting schedule isn’t good honestly but if you are here long term like me, it doesn’t matter.
Theres layoffs every single quarter at Verkada. Members of each engineering team are stack ranked by the managers and the bottom ones are cut.
Theres both URA goals set at 1-2 engineers per manager (stack ranked). If you get in any disagreements with higher management (Rob, Martin, Fk, or especially Hans) you will be terminated within the week.
Your stocks are initiated 15-60 days after you join (this offset is carried over till 4 yrs)
