Kayla reached out to me on LinkedIn, and after a quick chat, I realized the initial salary offer was below my expectations. However, she explained the company’s vision, her growth story, and assured me there was room to advance as the company scales. She even coordinated with the hiring manager to get my minimum salary approved so we could move forward. I loved how they used AI to personalize the process and cut down interview time. Every interview was scheduled within a week, and everyone I met was smart, humble, and asked insightful, job-relevant questions. I even got to speak with my future teammates and my boss’s boss, which was great. Within three weeks, I received an offer matching our agreed salary. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and respectful—a stark contrast to the drawn-out interviews I’ve experienced elsewhere. Huge credit to Kayla and the Samba team for their professionalism and culture. I’m genuinely excited to join such an amazing group.
