Process

  1. 30-minute recruiter screen.

  2. 45-minute tech screen.

Talked with an interviewer who was easy to converse with. She asked why I was interested in Samsara, then moved into an object-oriented question that had multiple steps. I asked clarifying questions. On the final step, I failed to consider the impact of time correctly on the problem, which I believe was the reason for failure. I've seen many people who failed mention how this question is too easy, but clearly, they failed. I believe they are looking for how one attacks a problem. I thought I did well overall, but apparently, I did not.

Annoyed with the outcome, but overall, it was a good experience.
