J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Samsara (San Francisco, CA)
Entretien
Don't waste your time in interviewing with this company. I echo what some folks have experienced, you are never good for them even if you solve a problem in the most efficient manner. They simply look at your degrees and college and go by the name. I wonder why they even approach candidates when they know that won't choose them and simply waste everyones time.

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.

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
