The interview process consisted of the following rounds:

• 1st round: 30-minute phone screen with a recruiter.
• 2nd round: 1-hour technical round with a developer.
• 3rd round: Multi-round virtual on-site.

I did not advance to this stage of the interview process.

The first round was straightforward. It was a conversation with the recruiter about past experience, the role, and expectations for compensation.

The technical round was incredibly disappointing. The "study aide" documents that Samsara and the recruiter provided explicitly stated that this round would not rely on trivia or algorithms and would instead be a discussion about code in the domain for which I was applying. They even advised against studying, stating it would not be necessary.

The interview ended with the interviewer asking me two questions about my experience and then silently watching me fumble through a LeetCode Medium problem on CoderPad.

The technical question was a LeetCode Medium question:

Find shortest path in a binary matrix.
