Vantaggi

Decent benefits Decent Pay Variety of Schedules

Svantaggi

Their call handling and monitoring system is extremely flawed and is susceptible to browser and network connection issues daily. Leading to constant harrasment of support agents by the monitoring teams even when you've been typing away at your keyboard. This causes frustration and low morale in support agents as you could be working a case for 15-30 minutes and still get "pinged" for being "idle" or "signed out" when your monitoring screen shows you are in fact signed in. Their only solution to their systems getting out of sync, is to "refresh your browser" which you can do 10 times and you will think you're available still and the monitors will tell you you're not. Managers and Trainers are stretched, leading to poor communication from them, this is not their fault but it can have a negative impact on their trainees and team members. The Support Structure is a mess and Training is overwhelming as SmartSheet has a large number of offerings and they rush you through modules that are not put together well. Then immediately on to complex projects for their smattering of products, that you have very little experience in, requires a large amount of memory/energy to complete and you will rarely ever need to use that experience in supporting the customer as Support does not build out the whole solution for the customer and only provides "break-fix" support. More attention should have been paid to troubleshooting instead of building as Support does not build. Often you are given more than can be completed and often redundant modules and projects. Many often stay after hours "off the clock" to finish their training work. Managers do not micro-manage, but they also dont check in. You may feel left adrift. You are a number.

Thank you for your review. Constructive feedback represents so much of what I love about our community – we listen, learn, and grow together. Thanks to feedback like yours, we began making changes in early August to address some of the complexities of our support structure. We’re still in the early days of evaluating program outcomes, but I’m hopeful this will have a positive impact on how we support employees and customers. I encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner to share more about your experience to help us to continue to learn and grow. Thank you again for your feedback. – Mike Arntz, Chief Revenue Officer & Executive Vice President, Worldwide Field Operations.

Vantaggi

Supportive of AI tooling. I had a great manager. I heard the severance packages are great, but I left of my own volition, so I don’t have personal experience.

Svantaggi

Complete lack of direction or management at the mid to high levels of the company in product and engineering (most everyone left or was pushed out by cronyism from the private equity acquisition). No more equity offered to employees. No opportunities for promotion. They’ve shipped or are shipping most of the core products (including the core “sheet” aka Grid app) to India and have laid off tons of employees (somewhere between 12% and 15% of the company). Upper management did the thing where they had the US developers interview tons of people out of India, and then about half a year later laid off tons US developers, including several of the people that did the interviews. Upper management said that the India teams would be working on other projects, but clearly that was a lie. They laid off people without consulting their managers, or their manager’s managers, and without knowing what team they actually worked on or what they did. So entire teams were laid off unbeknownst to them. Very quick and poor handoffs to India, if any. You will likely be working on multiple teams at once, or moved to multiple teams during your time there in short periods of time. On-call can be a nightmare. There is no culture of any kind. Basically do not work here, whether you’re out of the US, India, or Bulgaria (the main countries for developers).

Thank you for your honesty. While we’re glad that you had a great team and the tools you needed, it’s incredibly tough to hear that other aspects of your experience were less than great. To your point about equity, we’d like to clarify that we do offer a limited equity pool with specific eligibility. That said, navigating transition is already tough, and adding in other aspects like global shifts and new leadership can make it feel even harder. We know the dust hasn’t completely settled, and we understand that we have a lot of work to do to repair employee trust and morale. We’ve set off on that journey, and we appreciate all of this feedback along the way. Thank you, and we wish you all the best in your next chapter.
