Pros

- The people ! - The CEO is extremely intelligent and humble - Product win. Samsara is dominating the industry, constantly innovating and building a product based on customer needs - Great ADR organization and leadership

Cons

- I’ve been working at Samsara for two years and would not recommend it to any friends in sales - You are given lead lists to disconnected numbers and businesses that not have a website or LinkedIn page. - Uneducated and unprofessional buyers - Salesforce is a mess - Round robin and inbound system is all managed manually - Management is a joke. Accelerating the hire process for Meraki and Yelp referrals who are not qualified or capable of managing a team. - Few people are happy to be there anymore. Everyone on commercial and Mid-Market is stressed or terrified of getting fired mid quarter.

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.
