I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara (London, England) in Mar 2023
Interview
Interviewed 3 times with this company and then politely declined to continue in the process. Received no acknowledgment whatsoever, no communication, no follow up. One interviewer gave no introduction whatsoever and then went straight into CBI approach - not at any point had this been flagged as an approach and it felt like he was trying to trip me up. Arrogant, lack of humility and terrible follow up = really poor candidate experience. Disinterested interviewer, kept getting out of his seat to get stuff from other parts of his room. Overall, really poor for an aspiring, growing company.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Samsara in Apr 2024
Interview
The process was timely with great communication. They did what they said. They were very thoughtful during the process and I had the right contacts for questions and preparation. My recruiter was very knowledgeable

Question 1
Theoretical questions about knowledge and experience. More dialogue than questions, they took the time to get to know me and delve into my background and experience.
I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2023
Interview
The interview process started with a recruiter phone screen, then a manager phone screen, followed by an 4 person interview loop. The final interview was with a VP. Each of the interviews were behavioral based interview questions focused on different skills or competencies.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Jul 2023
Interview
This was a very quick interview process. I spoke with the VP and then had a f/u with a peer director. The onsite virtual interview loop consisted of 3 interviews with 3 different VPs which were about 45 minutes in length. I received an offer the very next day. I was in process with 2 other companies and withdrew from consideration after my 8th and 9th interviews. Samsara definitely impressed me with the speed and brevity of the interview process. Bravo!!!
