I applied online. I interviewed at Samsara (New York, NY) in Feb 2023
Interview
I had a coding assessment test which was mailed after days of me submitting the application. I applied to job position via LinkedIn and it was for Early Career. It was a full time position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were 4 coding questions to be completed in 90 minutes. 1 was very easy and 2 of them required some understanding of data structure like list/array and dictionary. It was time consuming so wasn't able to finish last question.
First a HR call - goes into project details, what you're looking for, etc
Got connected to a Hiring Manager for a project deep dive + TPS round within the hour. TPS question not too difficult - not leetcode.
live coding session, create a md to html translator. It was all live with unique requirements making it more difficult than I expected using regex. The interviewer was not personable and it was a very uncomfortable experience
I made it to the technical screen and didn't proceed further. Recruiter call was the usual experience dive, comp discussion, and why you are looking for a job. The technical screen was a string parsing question.
