      Pros

      Good product market fit Free lunch + Uber credits Exciting times at the company

      Cons

      Treated like kids, hard to take time off on vacation or even away from your desk High pressure monthly quotas with boring day to day (not many leads coming through), feel like a number Call center job in dungeon office (other job functions are in nicer brand new office couple blocks away)

      We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Samsara hasn’t been as positive as we’d hope for, but we do appreciate the candid feedback. We are making changes to the physical environment at our De Haro location in response to the substantial growth we’ve experienced there (reducing desk density, adding more soft seating, piloting noise-canceling headsets, etc.) based on feedback from our most recent employee survey. We’d love to chat with you about the other areas that you mentioned - please reach out to your manager or to People Ops.

      Sales = Glorified Call center

      Pros

      Company is growing really fast, the product is the best in its industry 200$ Uber/Lyft credits each month Free lunches are good if you like chicken and rice every day.

      Cons

      Mind-numbingly boring day to day, if you don't like cold calling for hours on end this isn't for you. Micro-management to the max, reps get sent passive aggressive emails for arriving 5 mins late (even on a 6 or 7 AM start time). Mid-management is secretive and reps hardly know about changes until after they're in full production (i.e. raising quotas). Pay isn't competitive at all for SF.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. As you know, we are growing very quickly on multiple fronts (new people, new products, new markets), and while we aim to communicate changes in advance when we can, some changes may feel sudden as a result of our growth pace. If you have additional feedback, we’d appreciate it if you shared it with your manager or with People Ops - we’re always looking for ways to improve. Regarding pay and quotas, we continually study market data and design quotas to allow for overachievement to attract and retain the very best sales talent. We are always happy to dive into the details of how this framework has been built, or walk through specifics around your comp plan.
