What is the deal with Samsara cutting benefits? I have read on Glassdoor they took away equity for non-eng employees and took away unlimited PTO? Can someone share the details? I am a non-engineer starting soon and am nervous I did not ask enough about benefits
can relate
If you’re being hired for any significant role you’ll be fine. Yes we cut maternity/paternity leave by a couple weeks but not our unlimited PTO policy
What if it’s an insignificant role?
L3 or below
they are now cutting target RSUs, including for engineering - company is unprofitable
Where’d u see that
Can you share more? What do you mean?
Unlimited PTO is a con. I'm in Europe and have never had unlimited PTO, so nothing has changed there. Mind you, it wouldn't be so bad here as there's a legal minimum you must take. Can't speak for my US colleagues.
Unlimited PTO might as well mean no PTO. Guess how much of that unlimited PTO you can cash out when you get laid off?
Are you at Samsara?
No, but I looked into it and unlimited PTO is always a red flag 🚩
theyre just tarded, move along
