Samsara Work Experiences

Constant Turnover, Zero Progress
Software Engineer • Current Employee
January 24, 2021
Pros: None at all, nada nothing.
Cons: Over the course of a year, I've been through 3 different PMs and 4 different designers, all of whom have left the company either voluntarily or from layoffs.
There is immense product turnover that results in doing the same stuff over and over again.
Engineering also has high turnover, as 4 of them have left and only one member of the original team is left.
And yet, execs have "explained" this all away as attrition that is not regrettable.
Now we are scrambling to hire more and trying to retain what's left based on a "Comp 2.0" that's been pushed back and has no concrete details.
