Samsara Career Growth & Development

Samsara Employee Perspectives

Samsara gives engineering interns the opportunity to build customer-facing technology that addresses real-world operational problems. Through hands-on work on meaningful product features, interns can explore where their technical interests meet customer impact and gain experience contributing to tools used in complex physical operations.

“During my internship, I realized that building customer-facing features that solve real-world problems are what I'm most passionate about.”

Samsara supports career growth through regular conversations that help employees reflect on where they are, where they want to go and how they want to keep developing. For Mac Caceres, that manager support has helped create space to grow at a pace that feels intentional and aligned with his goals.

“We always have regular career based conversations where we're talking about where I'm at, where I want to go and making sure that, you know, I'm still doing what I want to do and growing at the pace that I want to grow.”

Samsara gives account executives room to grow by connecting everyday sales support with longer-term career development. Leaders stay engaged on active deals while also helping employees think about where they want to go next, what they want to build and how they can keep progressing within the company.

“They are always checking in. Making sure I feel supported, asking me questions about deals, about my career path, what I want to be doing at Samsara in the long term.”

The career growth I’ve experienced over the course of just three years has been incredibly rewarding. I was doing channel marketing—and now I’m closing deals $100,000 and above. It’s pretty unique to work at a place that offers you the opportunities to grow your career so quickly and effectively. There’s plenty of opportunity at Samsara.

Two summers ago, I interned at Samsara and I had the pleasure of being a part of the Connected Sites Team at the time where I worked on a summer-long project and was able to interact with and receive guidance from a mentor, and I think it accelerated my growth when I came back as a full-timer here at Samsara.
