I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Verkada (Calgary, AB) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview was quite linear, primarily covering basic questions and led by a junior HR team member. It was structured around standard topics without much opportunity for in-depth discussion, which limited the ability to showcase my specific experience and ideas for the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you approach building and managing a sales pipeline, and what methods do you use to qualify leads effectively?
Can you share an example of a significant sale you closed, including the challenges you faced and how you overcame them?
What excites you about Verkada’s products and mission, and how would you articulate Verkada’s unique value to potential clients?
How do you handle objections, particularly regarding security and cost concerns, and ensure customer satisfaction post-sale?
What strategies do you use to stay adaptable and continuously learn in a fast-paced, innovative environment like Verkada?
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.
