Samsara

• CEO seems very intelligent.
• Interesting product/space.
• A lot of good, smart people on the ground.

Predatory culture encouraging new grads to work 24/7 with no work/life balance. Terrible, immature, unprofessional middle and lower management.

1. Stop chasing the magical hockey stick. This is killing the company. Samsara used to be a great company. By the time I left, it was literally the worst place I have ever worked.

2. Your lower and some middle managers are terrible at their job. You must clean the house and empower your middle management to get rid of people who should not be there. They are only about 10-20%, but they are poisoning the environment for everybody else. Merit should be your only criterion.

3. It felt very 1984. People are afraid to speak up for what is right because it would not align with the ideology.

4. For a company that tries to appear so woke, you sure have a lot of people treated like crap, pushed to the edge of their sanity, and thrown out like old garbage.
