J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Samsara (Bengaluru) en déc. 2024
Entretien
There was 1 screening round. Post clearing that there were 3 more rounds - Coding, system design and HM.
I cleared all round with complete code but eventually at the end, the feedback was "Not thinking as user's perspective and He was not taking feedback provided by interviewer". Whereas for each and every thing i was writing in the code, i was telling why i'm using that and also i was asking if using this or doing like this makes sense.
The process was good, HR was good providing time to time feedback but overall experience was bad to say the least.
I guess in india, they want engineers who might be incompetent but can say believe of other senior engineers sitting outside India.
One of the worst interview experience that I had, the interviewer came more than 5 mins late. Then he gave me a question to solve and then straight away got busy on his phone. Some of the decisions that we
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. Interrupted me constantly and kept asking me if I had any more questions when she couldn't even answer the few I did have. Probably the worst HR phone screen I've ever had, and I've had a few.
Recruiter round was smooth and professional. However, the technical interview didn’t match what was described. The prep materials clearly said no Leetcode, and focused on Samsara's system related.
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.
