Samsara reviews

I honestly don't know where to begin. This has been the worst decision of my professional career. Commercial sales leadership is absolutely terrible. If you want to be stalked and criticized all day long then this is the place for you. This is the first company that I've ever worked at where the managers have NOTHING to do all day besides monitor your calls and control every move you make. The quotas are way too high and that is probably why a large number of tenured reps are on pips now that they are fully ramped. The ramp-up period is a scam. In the interviews, they will tell you how everyone is well over quota every month when that is in fact a lie. The culture is terrible and it feels like everyone is walking on eggshells. This job is pure LUCK and everyone relies on inbounds to hit quota. The way inbounds are distributed is not always fair and accurate. Most of the people don't take lunch breaks and just sit at their desk from the start of their day to the very end. The work-life balance is terrible and even though they promote unlimited PTO it is actually not because the managers will deny you, even if you are at quota. Do not work here.

Benefits constantly getting cut/reduced - growth fund (which would have been great during COVID!), commuter benefits, swag, meal budget Took forever to switch to WFH, did not provide any initial support with equipments - they did not give out chairs or monitors for months, by then most have paid out of pocket Very obvious nepotism - many folks who were from Meraki, MIT etc.. other power groups were not impacted in the layoffs Cash raise freeze - employees also need a little extra money too, you know? I personally am approaching close to 2 years with 0 cash raise Heavy culture of bootlicking - some posts on public slack channels are pretty cringey Pressure to not take PTO - either from micromanaging managers who don't trust you, or "urgent" works that never seems to end Unrealistic expectations from management - despite the fact that many teams were hit pretty hard from the layoffs, management still has high output expectation pressuring employee with "high performance culture"
