Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara (Montreal, QC) in Oct 2022
Interview
The interview process was a very positive and thorough experience. The interviews followed this process: recruiter, hiring manager, and four members of the team. Through each step of the process, I was able to get a strong feel for what it would be like to work at Samsara and my experience in the interviews have aligned with my initial experience at Samsara. I was provided with resources to prepare myself for Samsara's interviewing style. I used these over the course of a weekend to prepare myself and when I went into the interview I had ready but not too scripted answers. I would contrast this with other interview processes that go all over the place where you have to jump around from different topics which can be disorienting
Thank you for your feedback! Our goal is to provide wonderful candidate experiences and this helps us know that our team is on the right track.
Interview
First step was an interview with the recruiter. Next interview was with the hiring manager. Lastly was 4 rounds with different team members. The interviews were conversational, and I felt like I was able to ask my own questions and get a feel for the company as well. The recruiter was always in touch to keep me updated throughout the process, and I always felt like I was in the loop and knew what to expect. This was the quickest / easiest experience I have had as a candidate experience from application to hire, yet I never felt like they were cutting corners or doing their due diligence.

Interview
Quick and straightforward, I had 4 rounds of interviews ( the last round was 4 interviews) in total I was interviewed by 7 people. Everyone was kind and respectful they wanted to know about my background and my overall thoughts on IT and business process. The recruiter I worked with at Samsara was the best recruiter experience I have ever had.
