Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Jun 2023
Interview
First, I spoke with the recruiter, then the hiring manager, then an "on-site" panel interview with the hiring manager and four cross-functional partners (45 mins each). First hiring manager interview was a tell me about yourself and your relevant work experience type screening, then on site was behavioral.

Tell me about a time behavioral questions related to cross-functional leadership, managing conflict, using data to drive action/insights, managing complex projects, and learning new material for the first time. Recommended that candidates use the STAR framework to structure their responses.
Very positive experience. Wonderful team, exciting growth journey. Started with a quick call with a recruiter, then a call with a person on the team I will be working with, then half a day interview with 4-5 folks that I will be working with. Mostly resume-based and behavioral questions.
