Pros: Everyone is so friendly and nice.

Cons: There are no cons in Samsara's.

Pros: Samsara services an industry that's robust and recession-proof. The platform they've built (that we help sell and implement) is extremely robust and well received. The combination makes this a quality place to work, and I feel stable in my role. There's a lot of support from management, all of whom care about us personally. There's a lot of hands-on work as well as software/platform work, so it's a good mix. All in all, I enjoy working here very much.

Cons: I wish we had a few more offices, especially in the New York, Austin, and/or Denver area.

Pros: - Competitive salary and benefits. - Some incredibly friendly and helpful ICs. Many of the smartest and most fun people I've worked with in my life are here.

Cons: The culture has completely flipped on its head. A company that I thought was a unicorn at first in prioritizing people and treating its employees like actual adults went from just that to a cutthroat place where the only thing that mattered was seeing stakeholder value go up. The culture went from mutual respect and a willingness to help everyone to micromanaging (keeping metrics of AI tool acceptance rate and putting a threshold on it), cutting people after years of solid output if they started to dip at all, and allowing more senior engineers to be as rude as they want to newer people as long as they were technically correct. I can't understand why Samsara would shift so far from what got them to the place they were at circa early 2024.
