      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.

      Don't work here if you’re in Sales

      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

      Unreal growth trajectory Best product in (very saturated) market Out of pros

      Cons

      1. You're underpaid by market standards. You'll need to avg 200% to make market 2. Your daily activities and tasks are micromanaged 3. The buying persona is typically unprofessional 4. The product itself (while ahead of the competition) is not a core part of the business and will never be treated as a crucial business decision (forecasting impossible) Okay now why I left... 1. Culture. Culture. Culture. 2. You're not invested in as a professional. 3. The overall growth attracts high sales talent but then you step into what seems like an entry level sales role. 4. Boys club. You're in the club or you're not. If you're not sure, you're not in. 5. Many aspects of sale in this vertical are beyond reps control (financing, financing, financing) - but you don't hit once and you're put on plan. Has nothing to do with rep competence or effort. 6. For the sake of credibility - I never missed quota. My avg attainment was over 300% and I chose to leave and haven't regretted it for a minute. My advice to those considering. If you have a weird sense, like you're not quite sure if its a good fit.. go with your gut. Writing this review because I accepted a job here relying on credibility of 5.0 star Glassdoor review rather than my gut. You're welcome.
