Pros

This is the place to be. If you put in the hard work, doors open up for you. The leadership here is top tier. This is the type of place where when leadership says they’re going to accomplish something, the team delivers. This company will have a major impact in the world when it comes to the future of technology, logistics, supply chain and the physical economy.

Cons

Lean team. Everyone is expected to work hard and sometimes that is taken the wrong way. Your direct management is a huge factor in your future at the company. Not all managers and directors are the same.

Pros

- Massive company growth -> Upward mobility and career progression - Leadership is top notch -> You can focus on your job - Our Products solve real world problems -> "Passion" is easy to find here - Pay, Job stability, ESPP, benefits, etc All great Samsara is big but getting a lot bigger. They expect excellence and so don't work here if the intensity of expectations is too much for you. You are rewarded for hard work and what you put in directly correlates to what you get out of it. Samsara can be a career making company if you put in consistent effort.

Cons

- If you don't want to put in the effort, you will get weeded out fast. - Highly competitive market, our customers have dropped prices so much it can get frustrating. - The only constant is change!
