I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Aug 2025
Interview
Average interview, nothing out of the ordinary. Two things were frustrating:
When I asked for feedback on the process, they told me they would not be providing any as they "are not allowed" to do that. After what amounted to five rounds of interviews and several hours, feedback does not seem like a big ask. It seems like they just don't want to bother.
When I remarked that one of the interviewers and I went to the same college at the same time, she made some blatantly ageist comments, and whatever rapport we had up to that point quickly evaporated as she ran through a perfunctory list of questions. Hard not to feel like that had an impact on the overall process ...
Huge misalignment on expectation and lots of misleading information.
If you are offered (or Samsara pressures) to start middle of month or quarter, run. This is a trap to set you up for failure and cut on ramp commissions.
I first spoke with a recruiter for the screening process, which took about 25 minutes. She was late, but was very nice and provided tips on what they're looking for. She sent a lot of follow up information to prep for the next interview round. I then met with the hiring manager who did a deeper dive into numbers and expectations.
5 rounds in total, 1 with HR, 1 with a Sales Manager, then 3 in 1 day: Manager, Director and another Director. Very low acceptance rate. Must demonstrate growth mindset, specific deal metrics, and a natural drive.
