Pros
Coming to Samsara was not easy for me. It required a lot of trust that the machine would continue to perform at 2x-3x+ of quota. The OTE's are a bit lower but match very reasonable quotas. It is intentional to drive reps toward commission and create a culture of over performance. A few quarters in and I can say it is as good as the recruiters and job postings say! A few highlights... -Ability to drive business from cold call to closed won in weeks! (100k+ deals) -Incredibly fair quota ramp for new reps -Technology that wow's, has tangible benefits and is incredibly fun to sell -Visionary leadership from sales, engineering and executives -Very welcoming culture
Cons
The company is growing insanely fast. That has its downsides. -After two week on boarding you are almost completely on your own (Managers are there but theres no hand holding) -Office Location isn't super convenient -Workforce diversity..The company seems to be attempting to address this -Worklife balance: No work from home policy at all **I thought coming in I would feel a bit of an outsider since there are so many people here from Meraki but that hasn't been the case**
