I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Jan 2024
Interview
Quick and quite standard, I have enjoyed it. The recruiter rescheduled one of the interviews on a short notice, on my request, without any issues.
The technical interviews were quite standard. No weird technical questions have been asked.

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.
