Pros: Fantastic, no complaints. Some of the best infra I've seen.

Cons: None, I enjoyed my experience.

Pros: Nice SF office, good RSUs. Interesting business.

Cons: This company has a lot of DEI nonsense, micro-aggressions, and other stupid, pointless CYA training. There are much bigger, fundamental issues to be dealt with, like just having the team understand the business and the strategy. The culture is schizophrenic; it depends who your boss is. In my career, I have not worked at such a messed-up organization trying to be all things to everyone. Just run the business! Way too soft and pandering to the millennials who think they are owed something by the company. It's a job, not a social club. The self-entitlement is unbelievable. Unless you really need a job, avoid this company.

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.
