Samsara Employee Perspectives

Samsara encourages employees to approach growth in a sustainable way, with space to build habits that support long-term performance. For Mac Caceres, that has meant learning to plan ahead, protect his energy and stay at his best for both his customers and his career.

“In growing my career, I've learned that, you know, it's always better to build a schedule around burnout being preventative.”

Samsara Employee Reviews

Samsara is so supportive of working parents, knowing they have an even bigger job when they close their computer at the end of the work day.

We have mental health days so that everyone can take, you know, a few days off a year just to have some time to reset and refocus.

If they wake up and are just burnt out, my team can just send me a text — no questions asked — so they can take that day off to reset.
