Pros

You will experience firsthand corporate America despite Sauce being a small-medium sized startup.

Cons

It seems odd that 5 of the 5 star reviews broadcasting Sauce Labs as an excellent place to work with so many perks and so few cons all were written October 1. I would not be at all surprised if those “reviews” were the work of the people team. There’s a lack of direction and little to no communication among teams. It’s unclear what criteria for hiring managers is but it is clear that the bar is *extremely* low. Overall the culture is toxic and the company operates in an extremely political way, with merit and work ethic having nothing to do with potential growth or even a hint of recognition.

Pros

Strong people across teams, interesting business systems challenges, and real opportunities to improve processes that matter. Good place to work on cross-functional problems involving Salesforce, NetSuite, integrations, and operations.

Cons

Priorities could shift quickly, which sometimes made it harder to stay focused on long-term improvements. In some areas, ownership and decision-making were not always as clear as they could have been.
