      Software Engineer Interview

      29 May 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara (New York, NY) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Started off with a technical phone screen. Same question as has been posted here before. Was passed around through 3 recruiters before being scheduled an onsite. They don't reply to emails. The onsite is 4 rounds - 1 technical, 1 debugging, 1 system design, 1 behavioral. Questions are same as the ones that've been posted here thus far. Engineers were really great and friendly, would've loved to work with them. Really friendly and sharp. Had some awesome conversations. 2 days passed and a 4th recruiter reached out. Said theyd love to have me ...........but don't have space for me right now. Said to wait 2 weeks to 6 months if leadership figures out the budget. Hired too many people in too short a time. Got the rejection email 2 weeks later. Recruiting team is an abysmal representation of the engineering excellence the company embodies. Applying is a stressful process generally and this recruiting team makes sure to raise your hopes up with false promises so they can drop you harder. Go into this with no expectations and wait for the full sentence after "We'd love to have you"

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Samsara (Californian, PA)

      Interview

      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

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Samsara

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical: String parsing. Be comfortable with regex
