      Software Engineer Interview

      May 17, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Samsara (London, England)

      Interview

      The interview was a screening call. Basic questions about experience. I did fine, I gave roughly the same answers that have gotten me through to the second stage for every company I've interviewed with this round (10+). However, this was easily the most negative interview experience I've had. First, the interviewer was late and didn't apologise, which felt rude. Second, she clearly had very little idea about what the company actually did, and spent around 5-7 minutes of the half an hour interview reeling off an incoherent babble of buzzwords that demonstrated she really didn't understand. She asked one technical question in particular that I answered completely corrected but she hinted that she wanted an answer that 100% wasn't the answer to the question she asked. But worst was her attitude. Her manner made me deeply uncomfortable and felt incredibly insincere and dismissive. I've never had an interviewer leave the call that quickly, literally within a second of saying goodbye. I was taking time out of my day to be considered for a role they needed to fill and was treated like I was basically just an inconvenience despite being more than qualified. Cannot even quantify how negatively I view this company when they have someone like this being the first person you have to interact with to potentially work there.

      I interviewed at Samsara (Californian, PA)

      Interview

      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

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Samsara

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical: String parsing. Be comfortable with regex
