I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Samsara in Dec 2023
Interview
There was an initial recruiter call, a phone screen (coding), and then a three round virtual onsite (one coding round, one system design round, one behavioral round). Coding questions weren't leetcode and were pretty straightforward, but did required writing a fair bit of code for 45 minutes. Interviewers were polite and engaged throughout the process, and interview outcomes were communicated in under 24 hours.
Had a hiccup in the process when they filled the role I originally applied to, but my recruiter was able to transfer me to a different role without losing any progress in the interviews.
On balance it was a very positive experience.

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Samsara
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.
