I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Samsara (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
The first step was the recruiter connected with me to set up a time to talk to her. I spoke with her and then she connected me with somebody on the team. From there, I had a second round interview. The final step would have been to go on-site and and interview with the team and do product related problems.
My biggest issues with the interviewing and recruiting process at Samsara is that it is not well-organized by the recruiter. Then, during the second interview, the interviewer was driving while I was interviewing. The interviewer seemed distracted and the call dropped during the interview. Overall, a true lack of professionalism by these individuals who were recruiting me.

Direct to CPO after a round with lead Har person. Took 2 months or more in total. Generally pleased with how it panned out. Would recommend. Company on track for big things if you’re willing to work long hours.

Interview
They would ask you basic questions in the JD, Learn IT Ops and how technologies like cloud and data are solving problems. The HR staff are friendly but they would test your knowledge of the job

Interview
Good and positive experience. Walking thru the process was very useful. Initial screening focus based on the experience one had. And feedback provided as a follow up. Enough time was provided to the candidate to answer the questions and ask any clarifications or follow up queries.
