The interview process is quite taxing. 2-3 calls with recruiting, then you have about 5 panel interviews and conclude the process with an installation. The process is borderline unethical considering all the time they demand from you. I made it to the final stage of the process before they notified me I should reapply in “a few months” because they didn’t actually have an active job opening. They also added that I had flaws in my skillset that were identified by every interviewer which seemed like a cop out for not having an open position. Maybe they didn’t like my experience, but it would have been better to know before I wasted 9 hours of my life during business hours. Seems like a good gig if you can land it, but my takeaways were they spend a lot of time doing empty talent pipelining with no regard to your schedule. The interviewers were generally unable to describe their day-to-day alluding to the role basically being sitting on calls and offering technical support when needed. I would also say that they are moderately unwilling to take your questions and it’s very much an evaluation of you rather than you determining if it’s a fit.

Entrevista
Lengthy, mostly behavioral. 30 minute call with the recruiter, 45 minute call with the hiring manager, virtual onsite with three peers (45 minutes each), followed by a take-home assignment and a 30 minute demo of the assignment. Turnaround for next steps after each round was within a few hours. Mostly they want to know that you can work with APIs, write some basic scripts, install their hardware (very easy and takes minutes), and explain technical concepts to a non-technical audience while emphasizing business value of the product. Everyone throughout the interview process was incredibly friendly and made Samsara sound like a genuinely great place to work; they made sure all of my questions were answered and that I could get a good feel for if I thought the company would be a good fit for me, not just focusing on if I would be a good fit for the company. Obviously, it was a decent amount of time invested, but I never felt nervous or stressed due to how well-structured and responsive everyone involved was.
