Samsara interview questions

I was contacted by the recruiter through LinkedIn. Initially the budget for the position was significantly below market so we did not move forward. A month or so later the recruiter reached out again saying the budget has changed. We went through a few basic screening questions and scheduled a technical screen with one of their engineers. 30 min call with the engineer, also pretty basic. General technology questions based on past experience. He did ask me about my salary expectations which was odd given he is not HR or the hiring manager. Onsite with 3 30 min interviews, same engineer and 2 execs. Sales execs wasn't too interested in talking to me but overall it was decent. No complaints. Nothing too difficult, they asked basic questions about how I would handle various situations. They reached out the next day saying they will not move forward. Did not really get a clear answer why, just that they didn't like the reason I was looking for a new job. Next step was going to be a HW assignment, something related to using their APIs. I was curious to test one of their sensors but it wasn't meant to be. They mentioned some parts of the job will be extremely boring, like selling their hardware to a small time trucker with no understanding of technology. It was probably a test but it didn't sound very appealing. Product overall was kind of boring too and they are targeting a pretty niche industry of fleet management. Technology itself is pretty cool and can expand into more interesting use cases which I think is their end game. At the end of the day I think they were looking for a typical SE with emphasis on sales not technology which I would agree is not a good fit for me. As pointed out by another reviewer, their location is pretty awful. The office itself is nice, tents are about block away closer to the highway, few random ones around the block. Not a pretty area.

I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn and spoke with her a few times. We had a conversation with one of their senior engineers on the phone and after some questions, he thought I was a good fit and should come onsite. Unfortunately, at the time they were offering less than my current position. After two weeks, the recruiter called again saying they are now willing to up the salary limit and wanted me to come in for an interview. The interview was suppose to be a four round onsite interview (2 technical, 2 soft). The day before the interview, one of the technical interviewers (the original engineer I spoke with) was not available anymore. On the day of the interview at 7:30am, I got a call from the recruiter telling me the other technical interviewer was also not going to show up but they still wanted me to come onsite. This obviously caused me some concern. So I had two soft interviews and I repeated ask what would happen with the technical interviews, the recruiter told me we can do a phone interview again. Throughout the two interviews, the most technical question I was asked was "Do you write code in your day to day on the job?" I told them no I script mostly but I code regularly on my own time and I worked as a developer before as well as running a startup. At this point, my interviewer started getting clearly annoyed for some reason and no longer want to interview me. After which, he only followed with generic questions that repeatedly just asked me what my current day to day is like. The day after the interview at 9am. I got a call saying I was not technical enough for the position. I was a bit shocked to say the least. I would have expected at least a technical interview before they made that decision.
