Q&A With Samba TV Employees

Presence

thus far, they have been open via the all hands and other meetings. It is probably a positive take on things, but it helps to know.

Open and everyone's opinion matters.

Adequate

Freedom to justify what I need... And I get it- You do need to have a great reason, and I respect that.

medical, dental, 401K (no matching however)

I see promotions across the org every 6 months

Every 6 months

Pre-Covid they were amazing. Can't wait for them to come back. LOTS of Karaoke :)

Amazing

No drug test, not sure about the background check

No

Hard work and achievement gets recognized quickly and rewarded

There are no rules for promotion, it depends on what you do, how your peers see and feel about the value you bring to the company, and how your superiors justify the promotion package with their peers.

1-2 weeks

It depends, sometimes will be the same day or same week, other times the candidate will never be heard back from the company despite any effort to contact them, in that case, you can be sure you're not being considered to work at Samba TV.

Really interesting, hard problems that need crazy scale and flex all your muscles

The engineers are always doing crazy awesome things

Crank. Work hard and get to know how the business works

Ask for the company’s OKRs and try to align yourself with them as best as possible.

90 day plan, very polished and professional. One of the best I’ve seen including companies much larger

Extremely well done. The executives and founders take time to welcome new people. The HR and IT departments have your equipment ready. More organized than much bigger companies.

Great culture, great offices, good communications

Tahoe Fridays, company apartments in New York, Sfo, tahoe, gym in the office, rooftop deck and lots of company get togethers including an annual all hands for all employees from all offices worldwide

everything

depending on the office, we don't have any pet restrictions

We get a few days off a year to do community outreach. In the past we've done under-served community education, prisoner rehabilitation, and anti-racism org donations... We also ask our partners to participate during the holidays

Getting better every year

Come as you are

Interview

Nothing unless you’re a rock star

Sports, happy hours, team events

Hard Technology problems that make lots of money and influence and impact lots of people

Friday happy hours for the whole company
