4 Years and Counting: Verkada Named a LinkedIn Top Startup

Dervilla Lannon Sep 28, 2022
LinkedIn Top Startup Verkada

We're proud to announce that for the fourth year in a row, Verkada has been named a LinkedIn Top Startup!  This recognition is a testament not only to our exponential growth, but also to our incredible team and culture.

The latest award from LinkedIn is one of many coveted workplace awards we've earned in 2022, including Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces, BuiltIn's Best Places to Work and the San Francisco Business Times Best Places to Work. 

Four factors play a role in determining whether a startup makes LinkedIn's Top Startup list: hypergrowth in the company's headcount; high engagement with the company on LinkedIn; high interest in the company's posted jobs; and an enviable ability to lure talent away from employers on LinkedIn's Top Companies lists. 

We’re honored to join LinkedIn’s list again this year and believe our people and programs will continue to set us apart in the years to come. Here’s why: 

Verkada Is Growing And Hiring Globally 

Earlier this month, we announced a $205 million Series D fundraise, which will help us achieve our vision of building the operating system for the physical world. We're continuing to build and grow the team that's delivering real value to its 13,000+ customers across the globe.

In the past 12 months alone, our team has grown by 68%, opened three new offices and nearly doubled our revenue! Check out open roles to join our team. 

Verkada Employees Love Our In-Office Culture

We are dedicated to creating a work environment where employees can grow and thrive as professionals and individuals, and a key component has been our in-office culture. Our employees enjoy the collaboration and hands-on learning they get within their teams, especially at the entry level, when mentorship plays a critical role in career development. 

"When you're in the office, you definitely have more of a networking connection with your peers and future mentors. I think it helps remove the gap for any learning curves." 

— Julie Ann Barrozo, Sales Recruiter at Verkada 

Beyond the intangible benefits of being in-office, we have daily lunch on-site, an annual stipend for career development programs, and fertility benefits.

We also promote from within and encourage internal mobility between teams and regions, which is motivational for employees who want access to interesting new experiences and learning opportunities.
