Business Outlook

Pros

- Company is growing fast - Team is friendly and close to each other - No politic on the Engineering side - Encouraged to take initiative and work independently

Cons

- other than a couple people who got there early, it's hard to know when and how you'd get to the next level. More importantly if you have experience (most of the team is fresh grads and don't seem to care much about career growth) - sometimes too independent, creating challenges when things need more people's input.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! In an effort to provide a transparent, equitable, and consistent path for growth, Samsara is currently working on creating a career pathing framework which will provide engineers the tools to know how they can advance their career growth at Samsara whether they want to go down an architect or management path. The Engineering management team is working on this and currently seeking feedback from team members. Please reach out to your manager if you would like to be involved in providing input. In addition to rolling out career pathing, we also have regular performance reviews twice a year where folks can exchange feedback with peers, their manager, and any direct reports. Please feel free to email peopleops@samsara.com if you have additional questions.
