I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Samsara
Interview
I am surprised I had the exact same experience. https://www.glassdoor.com/Interview/Samsara-Interview-RVW22502473.htm
Definitely don't take this company seriously unless they vouch for taking you seriously. They would waste your time without clear feedback.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Samsara
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.
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.
