I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Verkada (Sydney) in Mar 2023
Interview
HR was responsive and good. HR contacted me for the interview. Around 4 round of interview including with HR. First two interviews were fairly easy and basic questions like, questions regarding DHCP, VLAN and normal troubleshooting steps to follow for any technical problem. Final interview was in person and more like meet and greet with the team and the manager. They changed one of the interviewer without notifying me and when i raised it with the interviewer, he had no idea about it as well. Same interviewer was conducting interview from US office and the internet at the office in Sydney was terrible. Team members working longer in the team have their say in the final decision as well. I felt those guys were looking for a guy who belong to their home country. So, you have very little chance if you are not from same country or region, especially if you are not from Europe or the US.

Question 1
They asked about my interest with Verkada and my background.
Everything was explained beforehand, no surprise. The whole process was very clear, very detailed. The goal is not to trick you, but to test you in a normal environment. It’s a 4 round process, the last one is onsite. Everyone is really nice and welcoming.
Yeah, the screening was very easy. Just asked why I am interested and what I want to do in the future of my life. I have not done the tech interview I am filling this out so I can see what other people say. I hope I do well!!
