Pros

-compensation and benefits are good

Cons

-company needs to improve diversity and inclusion practices. it's almost non-existent. -middle management doesn't know what they're doing and treat employees poorly -toxic work culture -high turnover, firing happens all the time and there is no reason why they let people go -ceo and leadership are not doing a good job to help the company to grow long term

I'm sorry your experience at Smartsheet has been poor and that you have a lack of confidence in our senior leaders — this is not what we strive for. We do have room for improvement in our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and I’d encourage you to reach out to our Director of DEI to share your questions or concerns, or to get more involved in our current programs and future plans. We similarly encourage employee feedback and ask for your thoughts formally in quarterly all-company surveys as well as informally throughout the year. Despite the uncertainty created by the pandemic, our overall attrition (which was at or below benchmarks prior to COVID-19) has trended downward in the last 12 months. With respect to employee relations, we’re dedicated to approaching poor performance with directness, dignity, and privacy. Unfortunately, maintaining that privacy can sometimes create the perception that terminations are made without care or reasoning. My virtual door is open if you'd like to connect about this or anything else. —Kara Hamilton, Chief People & Culture Officer

Not that great

Pros

benefits are pretty good and that's really it

Cons

Company policies were constantly violated by employees and no one batted an eye. Firing people without cause or official warning. Diversity does not exist. Management does not act on fixing problems, nor do they really care. Sales org is all about the clique culture, you either belong or you don't last very long. Don't bother wasting your time talking to HR - it won't help- in fact, it might just make things worse even if it's innocent non-issue related. Regardless of the department- the negative reviews on here are 100% accurate. The good reviews are either from people still drinking the Koolaid or people who were asked by HR to write something nice.

Violation of company policies is never acceptable. If a violation takes place, steps should immediately be taken to address the issue at hand. If any employee doesn’t believe that's happening, I encourage them to reach out to HR or to use our internal employee feedback form to uplevel the issue to me and our Chief People and Culture Officer (there is an option to submit anonymously). We’re committed to fostering a culture of growth and inclusion, and we won’t succeed if we turn a blind eye to open and honest conversations. Regarding pressuring people to write glowing reviews — we simply don’t do that. Lastly, at the end of last year we hired a Director of DEI, and I'm looking forward to the progress being made to advance our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. She'd welcome a conversation to share more about what we're doing in that space, and how employees can get involved. My door is always open to discuss any of these matters further. —Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet
