      Data Engineer Interview

      Mar 16, 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Feb 2023

      Interview

      It was a fairly thorough process. Multiple points of communication with the team and the recruiter. Everyone was very friendly. I'd expect a take home (<4 hours), as it seems Samsara prefers that style of assessment.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Samsara does give an NDA, so I can't give details. I'd recommend practicing common behavioral and technical questions.

      Be sure to check email frequently, because I missed my coding challenge email and HR is not responding to your retake request, from what I hear their coding question for internship is easy

      Data Engineer Interview

      Nov 30, 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Nov 2023

      Interview

      Samsara's Data Engineer interview feels more like a friendly chat with a colleague than a stressful code test. It's engaging and way less formal, making the whole experience refreshing. One area for improvement could be providing candidates with better information about the interview content beforehand. - Initial contact: Started with a recruiter's call to discuss the role and my experience. - Duration: Four weeks, blending technical skills with behavioral questions. - First Round: One hour of talking about API development, and SQL, with a coding exercise. - Second Round, Part 1: An hour focused on general software engineering, Object-Oriented Programming, and data management coding tasks. - Second Round, Part 2: 45 minutes on Data Engineering best practices, Cloud tech, and behavioral assessment. - Third Round: Concluded with a 30-minute chat on personal fit and soft skills.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Without giving specifics (NDA), expect questions about: - Designing and implementing APIs: e.g., how to handle API requests and responses, and some security aspects. - SQL: Understanding database internals, query optimization, and modeling. - OOP: Understanding and applying concepts like classes, objects, and inheritance. Be prepared to discuss your approach to coding, testing, and software lifecycle management. - DE: Focus on your understanding of data processing, data storage solutions, and ETL processes. - Behavioral Assessment: Assess your soft skills, such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving approach, and how you handle challenging situations.
