The truth hurts

Pros

Great co-workers Food and beverages provided at the office Continued learning and training

Cons

The last couple of reviews that talked about the NAS team were spot on Loved the feedback from C level that states that 60% of the current management were external candidates. I am going to call BS on that reply. Every one of the managers in NAS was an internal employee who was moved into that role as the NAS team grew. Now that you are combining NAS and NBR's you have the luxury of getting rid of the poor managers. NAS leadership is weak at best. Your senior manager sits in an office all day and has little to no interaction with the sales teams. When this person does attempt to join the team on the sales floor (last day of each month) the instant messages start and people know what a joke this is. Managers are paranoid and make it a habit of reading all internal IM messages daily. If you knew how to treat your people you would not have to worry about this,

Smartsheet Response

I wholeheartedly agree with your advice to management that the truth will make us a better organization. We ask every employee who leaves Smartsheet for their feedback via an exit interview with the HR team. Feedback, whether from Glassdoor or our internal processes such as general employee feedback, 30-day and 90-day check ins, performance reviews, exit interviews, etc., is reviewed and analyzed by HR, and delivered immediately to the business leaders most closely aligned to it. We discuss it and address it as best we are able. The data I provided previously on our sales managers was for the whole of commercial sales. Our sales motions are broader than commercial sales, and certainly broader than the new account specialist (NAS) motion. Commercial sales (including NAS) is not limited to Bellevue, either, but is a growing and thriving presence in Boston, and now London. Regarding the timing of Glassdoor posts, we don’t control it. We also do not solicit reviews. We do know, however, that many employees elect to be alerted when a new Glassdoor post is made. My assumption is that there are employees who are positively engaged, and that they wish to express their opinion as well. As a member of the management team, I will take feedback of any type anytime. We learn from it all. Best, --Kara Hamilton, SVP People Operations

Pros

-Manageable goals with very fair compensation. I love what I sell, can make a great paycheck selling it. -Our customers are truly fantastic and they love Smartsheet. It's so rewarding working with companies that value what you offer. -I fully trust the management teams here- Starting with very competent and sharp front-line managers, directors and VPs, all the way to the top I know that the leadership team has our best interests in mind. -Great culture- Everyone is aligned on Company goals and helps each other. The competition is healthy, not counterproductive.

Cons

-Nothing major, just the typical fast-growing software company challenges that you'll see at any similar organization

Managers are transparent, helping hands are everywhere, and the executive leadership team has the right mindset about the strategic direction of the organization.
