Smartsheet Senior Developer Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Review from Engineering Dept
Spoiled; can't imagine finding a better experience at another company.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Tuned in, empathetic, ahead of the curve
Review from Engineering Dept
From top down. the goals that are important to exec level are filtered down to front line employees to help us understand how what we do contributes to the overall company goals.
Review from Engineering Dept
We've got consistent, clear communications from our leadership from top down. We hear from our ceo internally via video often (great). Our immediate leadership (mgr/dir) stay in contact and encourage all-day meetings for people to stay connected.
Review from Engineering Dept
Long term goals, takes the right actions, focuses on employee health
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership team goes beyond and above to readdress the importance of having a collaborative and supportive work environment. There are always opportunities to spark a debate for the benefit of improving the collective goals and tech.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Taking care of the needs of existing employees
Review from Engineering Dept
Making Smartsheet a great place to work for employees. It was the best in Washington at one point. It's now far, far from that. And new execs will say things like "I don't want to hear about the good old days of Smartsheet" instead of "tell me how we can make it a great place to work again".
Review from Engineering Dept
Respect that good senior engineers are self-motivated and self-organizing. Measuring productivity with burndown charts is not useful and a little insulting.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
401k matching would be the best part
Review from Engineering Dept
401k matching and remote work
Review from Engineering Dept
401k, but contribution could be more
Review from Engineering Dept
We are compensated with a good base, healthy bonus, RSU's which allows us to either retain or liquidate which gives us a nice "income". I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the 401k match.
Review from Engineering Dept
Unlimited PTO and 401k match, both of which were added relatively recently demonstrating the companies focus on improving the employee experience.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The company does not pay the employee fairly . For example, the developer would get the bonus up to 15% where the QA get only up to 10% bonus and this is not publicly announce. The company should pay all employee equally.
Review from Engineering Dept
Compensation is far below market rates for existing employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
Compensation is below market, no 401k matching.
Review from Engineering Dept
A commitment to benefits beyond health care. A gym membership, for example, would go a long way.
Review from Engineering Dept
I feel undervalued because my work isn't reflected in businesses plans, nor has my manager talked with me about my career trajectory, objectives, goals, etc. I would feel better about my compensation if we had an open discussion, looked at the numbers together, and set goals to get me there.
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
willingness to help each other on the team
Review from Engineering Dept

Review from Engineering Dept
Awesome culture. Everyone is willing to help and has a focus on quality.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
They could try things, or seek out information themselves before asking questions or asking for help. People usually ask some one else before looking for a solution or information.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Remote work and ability to work on interesting projects
Review from Engineering Dept
The willingness for people across teams and within teams to help each other out

Our CTO is accessible and expressed an expectation that we should feel comfortable in engaging experts when reasonable and necessary. He conducts a bi-weekly meeting and leaves time for open Q&A and/or engages personally with the front line team.
Review from Engineering Dept
We've got a 'we are in this together and we can do this' from top down. We've also got a very cultural/community focus as a corporate citizen.
Review from Engineering Dept
focus on employee health and wellbeing

To accomplish a piece of code/work effort that makes a different especially if it was a little challenging.. +1 if I learned something new as a part of it!
Review from Engineering Dept
The fun things I get to work on.
Review from Engineering Dept
I enjoy the work I do
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Who's ever excited about going to work! I'm happy about going to work and enjoy my work, but excited is a bit of a stretch lol
Review from Engineering Dept
Priorities constantly change and are not clearly communicated down to the rank and file employees. If we want to grow quickly we need to improve communication from leadership.
Review from Engineering Dept
It feels like upper management has recently become more reactionary instead of being proactive in their decision-making. Also, maybe as a consequence of the previous statement, feels like they say one thing, but do something different.
Review from Engineering Dept
Incompetent execs have been hired that are turning the culture into something similar to Amazon, which is widely disliked by its employees. I'm not sure it can be improved at this stage... is it really feasible to fire all the new execs and bring back all the people who Smartsheet great?
Review from Engineering Dept
No culture of innovation. Too much process overhead. Mobile is an afterthought.
