Pros: Good company overall, smart people.

Cons: intense culture, sometimes with the layoffs that occurred.

Pros: Good flexibility and work hours.

Cons: Non-competitive pay relative to market.

Pros: Fully remote work, some very smart senior and staff developers, and good internal dev tooling. Local development and debugging are pretty smooth along with CI/CD. The culture was good until 2023.

Cons: Management and execs have become incredibly demanding since 2023. They push hard for new features without giving teams the time to scope them. Employees then take the blame and get let go immediately. I had a director literally tell me he "prioritizes work over family" in a one-on-one. Remote work here is deceptive because Samsara uses that to overwork employees. It is common now to be working from home during weekends or outside business hours. Oncall is the absolute worst. Depending on the team, expect about one week a month of never leaving your phone or computer. You can get paged at 3 AM, and you are expected to wake up and look at it. Your work metrics are also recorded to compare you to coworkers and serve as evidence to "up-and-out" you (fire you if not promoted).
