I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara (New York, NY)
Interview
The recruiter reached out to via LinkedIn and initiated the process by scheduling a phone interview with one of their engineers. It was a fairly easy question with incremental difficulty levels.
Was invited to an Onsite interview after the technical phone screen. There was a product demo with one of their engineers followed by three rounds of interviews. They were debugging, system design and class design of fairly medium difficulty.
First a HR call - goes into project details, what you're looking for, etc
Got connected to a Hiring Manager for a project deep dive + TPS round within the hour. TPS question not too difficult - not leetcode.
live coding session, create a md to html translator. It was all live with unique requirements making it more difficult than I expected using regex. The interviewer was not personable and it was a very uncomfortable experience
I made it to the technical screen and didn't proceed further. Recruiter call was the usual experience dive, comp discussion, and why you are looking for a job. The technical screen was a string parsing question.
