About the company

Verkada sells cloud-managed physical security products that combine hardware and software, covering areas like video security, access control, sensors, alarms, intercoms, and workplace tools. The company positions the platform around a single connected system called “Verkada Command.” Verkada lists a large customer footprint and markets a global deployment base for devices and customers. Verkada runs hiring through a Greenhouse job board and publishes a fairly detailed “Interviewing at Verkada” overview on the careers site.

Locations and presence

Verkada lists offices across San Mateo, New York City, London, Taipei, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Krakow, Singapore, Salt Lake City, Tampa, Seoul, Sydney, Austin, Mexico City, and Tokyo. Early-career software roles shown on the job board are centered on in-office hiring in San Mateo, with other early-career entry points concentrated in sales development.

Palpable Score

67.4

/ 100

Verkada puts real weight behind early-career hiring through a visible early-careers software lane and structured sales development programs, so access is meaningfully better than most late-stage startups. The main limiter is outcomes evidence: the company publishes testimonials and growth narratives, but public, verifiable retention and progression data for juniors is thin and external sentiment is mixed.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

17.0

/ 20

The company publicly lists multiple “Software – Early Careers” roles (intern and university graduate tracks) including Backend, Frontend, and Security Software roles for the 2026 cohort.
Verkada runs dedicated Sales Development Programs aimed at campus hires and recent graduates with 0–2 years of experience, including the Associate Account Executive and Enterprise Development Representative tracks.
The company’s early-career entry points look concentrated in a few functions (software and sales development), with fewer obvious 0–3 year routes in areas like marketing, ops, or finance on the public job board.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company publishes a step-by-step “Interviewing at Verkada” outline covering recruiter screen, hiring manager screen, assessments, and on-site interviews.
Verkada spells out a concrete multi-step process for sales development candidates (application review, recruiter call, hiring manager Zoom, final panel, offer, day-one prep), which helps candidates plan effort.
The company has uneven external candidate sentiment across roles on interview-review sites, which creates uncertainty about consistency by team.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.7

/ 20

The company describes sales onboarding as cohort-based, with sessions on products, sales playbooks, and live coaching, and frames the program as “training, mentorship, and real-world experience.”
Verkada highlights a named training concept (“Verkademy”) and uses internal stories that reference moving from AAE or EDR roles into leadership pathways, which is a concrete learning signal.
The company does not publish similarly detailed ramp plans for early-career engineers inside the early-careers postings shown on the public board, so support signals are stronger in sales than in software.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.7

/ 20

The company includes estimated annual pay ranges on many US postings and often states that additional compensation may include incentives, bonuses, and equity (RSUs).
Verkada lists benefits on the careers site including comprehensive health coverage, flexible PTO, commuter support, wellness benefits, and a professional development stipend.
The company does not show salary ranges consistently across all locations and early-career listings, which makes pay fairness harder to assess for many grads outside the US.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company states that sales development tracks are designed for internal promotion and includes employee stories describing progression from early-career sales roles into leadership roles.
Verkada has mixed public employee sentiment on progression and workload, including reviews that describe fast growth alongside reviews that claim short average tenure in some sales roles.
The company does not publish early-career retention, promotion-rate, or internal-mobility metrics, which limits how confidently early-career outcomes can be scored beyond anecdotes.
