Pros

Decent benefits Decent Pay Variety of Schedules

Cons

Their call handling and monitoring system is extremely flawed and is susceptible to browser and network connection issues daily. Leading to constant harrasment of support agents by the monitoring teams even when you've been typing away at your keyboard. This causes frustration and low morale in support agents as you could be working a case for 15-30 minutes and still get "pinged" for being "idle" or "signed out" when your monitoring screen shows you are in fact signed in. Their only solution to their systems getting out of sync, is to "refresh your browser" which you can do 10 times and you will think you're available still and the monitors will tell you you're not. Managers and Trainers are stretched, leading to poor communication from them, this is not their fault but it can have a negative impact on their trainees and team members. The Support Structure is a mess and Training is overwhelming as SmartSheet has a large number of offerings and they rush you through modules that are not put together well. Then immediately on to complex projects for their smattering of products, that you have very little experience in, requires a large amount of memory/energy to complete and you will rarely ever need to use that experience in supporting the customer as Support does not build out the whole solution for the customer and only provides "break-fix" support. More attention should have been paid to troubleshooting instead of building as Support does not build. Often you are given more than can be completed and often redundant modules and projects. Many often stay after hours "off the clock" to finish their training work. Managers do not micro-manage, but they also dont check in. You may feel left adrift. You are a number.

Thank you for your review. Constructive feedback represents so much of what I love about our community – we listen, learn, and grow together. Thanks to feedback like yours, we began making changes in early August to address some of the complexities of our support structure. We’re still in the early days of evaluating program outcomes, but I’m hopeful this will have a positive impact on how we support employees and customers. I encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner to share more about your experience to help us to continue to learn and grow. Thank you again for your feedback. – Mike Arntz, Chief Revenue Officer & Executive Vice President, Worldwide Field Operations.

Pros

-WFH -Macbook Pro -Somewhat of a laidback environment

Cons

-Currently since about May we have 15%-20% of SDR's hitting quota each month on average. -Not necessarily a con, but be ready for 300 emails per day and 70 dials per day. -Very metric driven -Major disconnect between leadership and lower level management.

Thank you for your review and sharing your appreciation for the flexible environment we aim to cultivate at Smartsheet. In order to stay competitive in our high-growth market, we hold our people to high standards. It is vital to our collective growth to foster trust between employees and leaders, and it’s something I’m committed to instilling in my organization. I’m disheartened to hear about your experience feeling a lack of clarity from your manager, and I’d be interested to learn more – I encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. – Mike Arntz, Chief Revenue Officer & Executive Vice President, Worldwide Field Operations

Pros

Comp Benefits People Executive Leadership Growth Company

Cons

WAY TOO POLITICAL - it can be very uncomfortable at times if you're either a non politically motivated person or a person who does not agree fully with the messages. Slack channels will often have post that are gender and ethnicity based, which can make it very obvious who your coworkers do not like in their personal life.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re proud of the leadership position we hold in our market and the wonderful people who got us here – I’m pleased to hear that this has a positive impact on your experience. At Smartsheet we strive to create a culture of belonging that is rooted in respect and opportunity for all people. We consciously make an effort to create spaces for employees to opt into, like our Employee Resources Groups, where folks can come together based on shared characteristics or life experiences to feel seen and be heard. These conscious efforts are not political or partisan. The work led by our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team seeks to create connection and belonging, where everyone benefits. We understand our employees hold a variety of political affiliations, but there are no Smartsheet supported groups that bring people together based on political associations. We strongly believe that by celebrating the diversity of voices and experiences, and fostering equity for our teams, we enable people to do and be their best – and that’s paramount to achieving our mission to drive meaningful change. – Amelia Ransom, VP Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
