Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Samsara em jan. de 2019
Entrevista
The process is pretty standard: after recruiter chat, two phone screens followed by a full day onsite.
I bravely decided to take the phone screen on Friday day end -- which is a bad idea; I was exhausted and bombed it. I mean, I solved all four parts of the problem we were supposed to solve; but my attention to detail was sub-par. They are looking for people who are very focused and writes clean code. Didn't make such impression :(
I was going through the interview reviews here on Glassdoor. A lot of the reviews kind of miss the point of Samsara's interview. They are solving easy problems and they are not looking for correct answers -- this mean you'd be able to solve the problem easily - that is given; but you've to be able to demonstrate that you remain focused, you communicate well and you can write flawless clean code.

One of the worst interview experience that I had, the interviewer came more than 5 mins late. Then he gave me a question to solve and then straight away got busy on his phone. Some of the decisions that we
Only had an initial call with a frankly clueless recruiter. Could tell me very little about the role, what I would be working on, or even the tech stack. Interrupted me constantly and kept asking me if I had any more questions when she couldn't even answer the few I did have. Probably the worst HR phone screen I've ever had, and I've had a few.
Recruiter round was smooth and professional. However, the technical interview didn’t match what was described. The prep materials clearly said no Leetcode, and focused on Samsara's system related.
I prepared accordingly, but the interview ended up being a standard Leetcode medium. Disappointed by the mismatch — if algorithm questions are preferred, let candidates know.
Advice to others:
Prepare for Leetcode
