I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2017
Interview
Two phone screens, then an on-site (three technical interviews, one product demo, and lunch). The on-site was a batch interview day where they had some activities the day before, including a happy hour/dinner with many people across the company, including the CTO.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can't go into too much detail, but medium-level leetcode questions, and a design block-diagram question.
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.
