Samsara

The tech set up at Samsara is top class. Everything simply works, from modern meeting rooms with easy to adjust cameras and screens - hybrid meetings actually are enjoyable like this - to other internal systems we use. As a sales person, you can just click on the number and the call starts. You are free to use add-ons that improve your workflow. If inefficiencies are spotted the team is listening to feedback and adjusting the workflows. Modern tech is also used to give you insights on your quality of calls and meetings to help you learn from others and grow as a sales person.

The team energy is truly something special at Samsara. Everyone is motivated, hungry and pulling in one direction to advance the company. I have never worked in a company where there were so many talented, intelligent and hard working people. You can go up to anyone and ask for help or advice and they are willing to share their knowledge.

Sanjit is a truly inspiring leader and humble person at the same time. When he is in the office he walks through the floors, has lunch with everyone else in the team and is just super approachable. The sales leaders are knowledgable people that give you the freedom to sell while helping you to grow.

I've been at Samsara for 2+ years which has given me the opportunity to explore a career in 3 different teams and fields which I'm forever grateful for and says enough about the way Samsara invests in our employees!

At Samsara, I feel empowered to make my own decisions and own projects at Samsara for the benefit of my own learning. This allows for growth in my career.

Samsara offers some excellent perks: - A quarterly budget for well-being, professional development, family and home eligible expenses. - Regular fun events with paid travel expenses. - Lunch is provided every day in the office. - Open bar snacks.

Samsara's products provide physical operations companies with real world solutions that literally save lives, money and help them to be more sustainable.

When I joined Samsara, I benefited from a personalised tutoring during several weeks which allowed me to quickly increase my skills. Then, my manager trusted me by giving me direct responsibility for projects and tasks. I was always given stretch goals to keep the challenge going and allow me to keep learning.

Samsara provides all the resources you need to learn, in special we have access to previous RFCs written by other engineers and PMs and all the documentation related to the architecture. Sharing information is a strong part of the company culture.

I have to take care of my elder dog on a daily basis and I can choose whenever I need to take some time off to help her. I've never felt any pressure for not taking holidays and I always take at least 1 week off in every quarter.

Samsara has a C-level person that is focused on diversity and we have one topic as part of our company values. As being Latin I feel that the company gives opportunities to share my culture and embraces the differences.

I've always followed hyper-growth businesses from the outside - now, I'm in one! Samsara is growing faster than pretty much every other business out there, and with that comes oodles of opportunities. I'm working on stuff I'd have never dreamed of a year ago, working in a super motivated team who can all see the potential here.

I get to work alongside some of the most talented people in the industry. There are people from ServiceNow, Salesforce, AWS and more working here in EMEA, and they've all decided to get in early with the Samsara rocket ship. There's so much opportunity to learn from and collaborate with experienced people who have seen scale before!

Samsara doesn't specify how much time we spend in the office or the hours we work. As a new parent, I've seen first-hand how demotivating it was for my wife to be commanded back into the office and really restricted with her hours. Not here - I'm trusted to get the work done at times that work around my family. We're outputs-focused, with trust being at the heart of everything we do.

Samsara owns pretty diverse tech stack. Low level languages are Go and TypeScript (C for firmware), and at high level you're building micro services using AWS, React and Terraform. As part of the team you are expected to learn new stuff and improve the existing codebase.

At Samsara everybody can raise their opinion in a safe manner. You've got regular 1:1 with peers and there are multiple team meetings dedicated to various aspects of work: retros, oncall reviews, customer pain points etc. Also there are feedback sessions every 6 months and personal coaching plan.

At Samsara you're almost free to choose your own schedule. It's up to you to work from home or go to the office. You can freely run some chores midday., however there are several team meetings you are expected to attend.

Well planned onboarding to ramp up developers to the many facets of our stack. Well thoughts processes allow for feedback and close collaboration.

Each developer is responsible for the whole, this is a great opportunity to take responsibility. At the same time each developer is responsible from draft to production of the work-streams he is working on.

From drafting to discussion, to PRs, everything is a constant exchange of opinions between the team and the broader departments of the company, a feedback loop that allows everyone to thrive.

In our team, all engineers are empowered to own their work and collaborate with others to achieve our goals. And it doesn't end there… all engineers contribute to the whole process of reviewing product design, elaborate on the requirements, build and test the product, look after it from the ops side once it's deployed and used by our customers.

We have dedicated teams who are committed to improve the dev experience - starting with common tools and libraries, streamlined PR and CI/CD experience and auto-generated dashboards for operating our services. The stack is solid and mature - AWS infra, Mysql/sqlite, Golang, React/Typescript and more. Our product engineering teams can then be focused on utilising all of these to build a great product.

The product that we build adds heaps of value to our customers, especially those who operate large fleets of vehicles and those who are subject to very complex compliance laws and regulations across many countries. We make their work super efficient and sustainable.

From the upper management right down to the individual teams the direction and approaches of the company is always transparent. Samsara really value this honest communication to employees. Within your development team feedback is always forthcoming in both directions and helps you improve rapidly.

The short time to deployment of code changes means that you can directly see the impact you are having on customers in only a few weeks. Enabling feedback beyond just your company and letting you see influence you are having in other people's lives. The Samsara mission of connected operations is ethical and you really feel good about the impact you have on a global scale.

Samsara really focuses on trying to ensure people can do their best work. Whether that is from modern and efficient work from home setups to coming into the office. The immediacy by which People Ops, Business Technology, and the Workplace Team can be communicated with really make you feel they are working to help you rather than hinder you. Samsara also has a HootFund (£113 / quarter) to aid in your personal development and wellbeing. Generous perks and a great office environment make it a great place to work.
