Pros

Samsara is a truly exceptional place to work, balancing ambitious growth with a supportive, high-performance culture. Exceptional Leadership & Trust: The leadership team is world-class. They don't just delegate; they genuinely trust employees with critical projects. This belief in individual capability translates into an unparalleled level of agency and ownership over your work, allowing you to drive impactful results. Best-in-Class Culture: The culture is collaborative, driven, and highly respectful. Everyone is dedicated to the mission, creating an atmosphere of positive pressure where the best ideas win, regardless of where they originate. Real-World Impact: Working here means solving tangible, real-world problems that affect essential industries (like logistics, food supply, and public safety). It’s incredibly rewarding to see the immediate, positive impact of your technology on customer operations. Great Benefits: The company provides a comprehensive and competitive benefits package that clearly demonstrates its commitment to employee well-being and health.

Cons

The only "con" is that this environment is designed for people who are highly motivated by the desire to make a significant impact. The pace is fast, and the expectations are high. If you are looking for a role where you can simply "mail it in," this may not be the place for you. It demands drive and commitment, but the reward is commensurate with the effort.

Pros

Better than not having a job

Cons

An exodus of tenured engineers (both HW and SW). No culture. Zero appreciation. The bar is raised for existing employees but lowered for external hires. For example, an outside director was recently hired as an SVP, and a bunch of barely experienced Engineering Managers (EMs) were brought in as directors. Meanwhile, internal EMs take years just to become Senior Managers, and a promotion to director feels like winning the lottery. Additionally, the company removed the Senior Software Engineer level as a terminal role, giving existing senior engineers a one-year ultimatum to level up or face termination. AI could have made our lives easier, but leadership - a title they hardly deserve - has turned the workplace into a literal Hunger Games.
