Pros & Cons
Samsara
- Clear career trajectory with frequent promotions in sales
- Real-world product impact building IoT for physical operations
- Engineers rate WLB at only 2.9/5 despite company average of 3.9
- Remote work used to justify overwork including weekends
Together AI
- Open-source AI infrastructure — real mission alignment, not just marketing
- Small team with outsized research output; your work has direct impact
- Early-stage means wearing many hats constantly — not for specialists
- Limited career ladder; growth paths are still being defined
Bottom Line

Strong sales culture and real-world product impact at massive scale, but engineers report significantly worse WLB than the company average suggests.
Together AI
Choose Together AI if you want real open-source mission with outsized research output — but expect to wear many hats.
