I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara (London, England)
Interview
Recruiter screen, 2 rounds of coding exercises, design challenge, product demo, and cultural interview. Overall people were friendly, and supportive. The interview questions did not rely heavily on data structures and algorithms, and were instead more practical.
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.
