What's the Company Culture Like at Samsara?

Samsara Employee Perspectives

Samsara’s culture is built around collaboration, shared goals and teammates helping one another succeed. For Mac Caceres, that team-first environment has shaped what it feels like to grow at Samsara, where people are supported not only in their own work, but in helping others reach their goals too.

“The culture that we've now created is always around providing each other with a helping hand. We always want to make sure that each other are achieving the goals that we've set out for, and ultimately that only just makes all of us better.”

Samsara’s intern experience gives early-career employees the chance to build relationships and feel connected beyond their day-to-day project work. From recurring team traditions to programming events, interns have opportunities to learn, contribute and be part of a culture that makes the experience feel both meaningful and fun.

“Out of work, a lot of fun things were going on. We had Boba Wednesday every week. We had a lot of programming events.”

I think it's been amazing in networking opportunities like I've been given accessibility to women who are on the VP level and C-level at our company.

Culturally, we are low ego and low politics. Engineers ship ideas in days or weeks, and those changes can reach millions of devices and way more people. You do not need layers of approval to make an impact. Ownership here is not only real but an expectation.
