Pros

I started as a Strategic Account Executive a few months ago. The interview process was typical-tech-thorough -- five rounds. I left a bad boss at another software company and found a great leader here. People | Comp | Company Employees at Smartsheet are A players. Everyone I've interacted with has both the intellectual aptitude and work-ethic to work at any company of their choosing. I find it a privilege to work amongst this group of 3000+. The compensation packages are great in sales, and appear to be above-industry across the board. I have a large base salary, and an equivalent variable component. In sales, we call this an OTE (On-Target Earnings. There are also RSU packages (NYSE: SMAR), the ability to participate in the ESPP, a stipend or two, and a 401K match. If you equate comp to how a company values it's people, the packages here speak rather clearly. The company is growing revenue 15-20% after achieving $1B in ARR this past FY. We also just announced a $150M stock buyback and are generating Free Cash Flow around $50M a quarter. If none of that makes sense to you or means anything to you, which it should, it just means the company is financial stable. We're not burning cash, and we're in a large Carnival-sized boat that can weather a lot of storms. This is important when the L word (layoffs) starts hitting CNBC during downtowns in the economy.

Cons

I'm not just writing this because I know PR and HR scour over these reviews - I really don't have any yet. We're completely remote so finding that "community" is tough but there's a ton of Slack groups and a likelihood of employees in {insert city here} so it's not Smartsheet-specific.

Pros

- Remote work - Genuinely talented and collaborative individual contributors across data science and analytics - Interesting problem space with real product and customer data to work with

Cons

- BI leadership does not have hands-on data science experience, which showed in how projects were scoped, evaluated, and prioritized. - Lack of clear leadership direction for the data science function. Priorities shifted frequently, and long-term strategy was hard to pin down, which made it difficult to invest in impactful work. - Career development conversations did not match outcomes. In my case, a promotion was discussed and promised by the leadership, and I was laid off shortly after. Whether that reflects poor planning or poor faith, it left me questioning the integrity of the process. - Transparency around organizational decisions was limited, which eroded trust on the team.
