I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Samsara (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
Horrible Interview Process.
The recruiter didn't show up for the first call. Had to reschedule. On the 2nd rescheduled call, the recruiter showed up more than 5 minutes late and seemed very unbothered about being late.
She looked bored throughout the interview and asked very few questions.
Overall she seemed biased and there was already a predicted outcome.
They later sent an email saying they had already selected someone else for the role
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Jan 2024
Interview
The process consisted of: an initial phone screen with a recruiter, followed by a phone screen with a hiring manager, systems design, product and management interviews, and concluded with an interview with the hiring manager.
The process was conducted online.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were in charge as the Chief Product Officer in one of your past gigs, what tweaks would you make to the product strategy?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Samsara (London, England)
Interview
Typical recruiter phone screening, one hour phone interview and on-site interview with the different stakeholders during the whole day including lunch a technical "hackerrank" test and an architecture/design interview.
The phone interviewer interviews you again in person, same questions, which feels a bit repetitive.
Good luck with the architecture interview, you have to imagine what do they want exactly or what type of design they are thinking about otherwise you're done.
