I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Oct 2021
Interview
Once I was a candidate I went through a recruiter phone screen, manager phone Screen, and then an on-site with three separate interviewers. I had one follow up with a more senior individual before receiving a job offer from the manager. The recruiter coordinator worked with me every step of the way for scheduling and informing me of my status and the next step.

The recruiter contacted me through email to schedule a phone screening and it was nice to get some insight on what the position called for vs what I was looking for. It was a great experience and I got to talk to several members of the team. Great way for me to understand the company culture.

Interview
It was a lengthy but very positive experience. Having multiple interviews gave me the opportunity to talk to different people and feel the vibe of more than one person and ask the same question to everyone and get their different input.
It also provided me with the opportunity to meet the different department leads.
