Pros

Remote first, decent work life balance

Cons

Layoffs every 6 months. Leadership is reactive, they chase Samsara instead of innovating, and hugely micromanage. Poor strategic direction. I got shuffled from manager to manager with little to no communication, and when I got laid off due to workforce reduction my manager didn’t say a single word to me. They speak about diversity and inclusion but it’s largely a boys club. The majority of senior leadership are men. That’s the culture in a nutshell.

Pros

The people are great. Good direct managers and team members that are all working towards your success.

Cons

Oversees SDR, support & OM lead to lack of quality and constant issues with customers and process. Constant pivots in account books, quotas, and KPIs lead to some AEs getting screwed with bad books, where others hoard good accounts. Inbounds are non existent and are supposed to be distributed on a round robin, but there is no transparency and a select few AEs have a significantly higher amount while others have none.
