Pros

The company and product are good. Get in - but not as an SDR. If you're entry-level, SDR elsewhere and try to join the company as an AE. You'll be thankful you did.

Cons

SDR management is garbage. No true leadership, lackluster mentorship, tons of micromanaging. Do not apply here as an SDR if you have any other better options available to you. Going through some growing pains as an org as well

Pros

Co-workers were a mixed bag - some who were genuinely interested in working collaboratively and delivering value for our customers. Others who were abrasive personalities or played games.

Cons

The company doubled in size since the IPO and a change in top level leadership (CTO on down) brought all the negatives of the Amazon culture (abrasiveness, negativity, pressure, unrealistic expectations, unhealthy internal competition, insensitive management, criticism over constructive feedback, no work/life balance). Lots of people cashing out after options matured. Read the gory details on teamblind.com. The eng leadership attitude is that you should always be hiring (since they expect plenty of turnover).

Smartsheet Response

While our rapid growth has required us to evolve, our values and operating principles remain central to our culture of support and innovation. We’re a company that thrives on competitive spirit and teamwork, while fostering employee well-being. The healthy competition that is at the heart of our identity is underscored by a genuine desire to see each other succeed and then celebrate that success together. Although the changes to our engineering org have introduced new mechanisms — yes, development of new muscles can lead to aches at times — our results and employee feedback show the positive impact of the modernized organization model. I welcome all employees to share their constructive feedback (whether it be directly or via one of our anonymous mechanisms), as that is how we continue to grow and evolve. I’m available to any employee who would like to talk. —Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet

Pros

Some of the most optimistic people I’ve ever had the chance to work with. Everyone works hard and cares about each other’s outcomes. Bad attitudes stick out like a sore thumb. Interesting work.

Cons

Gotta be ready for change in a company like this. But usually it’s a step forward.
