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.
J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Samsara
Entretien
They do move fast. one phone screen followed by onsite interviews.
These all happened within a week. I very enjoyed the process, doing questions and learning about their products.
Their hiring criteria is very unclear to me. Honestly, it seems they only hire ppl from top schools.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Samsara (Californian, PA)
Entretien
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.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Technical: String parsing. Be comfortable with regex
