J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Samsara (San Francisco, CA) en mars 2019
Entretien
Very weird interview process. I got rejected after the second phase of the technical phone interviews. The second phone interview was very similar to first one. The interviewer probably got bored in the middle of the interview. After asking some questions, he asked me to repeat the questions couple of times probably because he was busy with something else on the other side of the phone and not paying attention to what I was doing.
Questions were very ambiguous and highly related to their core product. The way questions were explained lead me to build something different than what they were expecting I guess, and the answers that I got from the interviewer didn't help making it more clear.
Good luck on hiring good engineers with this process.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Write some basic class structure. Add some functionality to it.
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.

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.
