I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Oct 2024
Interview
HR Call - standard, they'll ask you about your experience with hardware, coding, IoT at home interest, etc
Hiring Manager Call - they'll re-affirm past experience and similar pieces HR asked about.
15 min HR Prep Call - does a really great job explaining who the 3 panelists are and what they're looking for and even some of the questions theyll be asking.
3-Part 1 hour call (SE, Hiring Manager, S. Director) - STAR format for the most part.
Final interview is a take-home homework where you set up some Samsara products and run some analysis on the data you're gathering and do a presentation. Pretty neat but good amount of work!
