      Pros

      Nothing at all, toxic environment

      Cons

      Samsara wasn’t my first choice to work at, but COVID times got the best of me. You will crash and burn working here. You’re expected to design like a cog in a mill, regardless of what they’ll tell you in the interview process. It’s not even worth it for the “name” on your resume, because even Bay Area folks don’t know what Samsara is/does. I’ve had co workers call me and cry about the toxicity they’ve been through from leadership. The lack of talent and quality designers here is due to the fact that they pay low and most have left even before the company went IPO. The ones left are just in it to get that IPO $$$. Everyone is stressed or looking for their next company. Please don’t go through this torment.

      Pros

      Innovative product, constantly growing the platform

      Cons

      Compensation doesn’t feel competitive for the workload and expectations of the role. Frequent annual changes—including territory realignments, account books, verticalization, and quota adjustments—create unnecessary disruption and make it difficult to build long-term customer relationships and pipeline. The company has grown rapidly, but account distribution hasn’t always kept pace with headcount, leaving many reps competing for limited opportunity and making OTE difficult to achieve consistently. The Team Lead role is one of the biggest pain points. Team Leads are expected to operate like frontline managers without the compensation or authority that comes with a management position. They carry a fully ramped quota while also traveling, mentoring new hires, leading office hours, answering rep questions, supporting onboarding, and taking on enablement responsibilities. While these leadership opportunities can be rewarding, they often come at the expense of selling time and make it significantly harder to hit quota.
