Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

I met a Samsara rep at a career fair and spoke with her at length about Samsara, the company's goals, and my goals.

Less than a week later, I was contacted by a recruiter from Samsara who set up a technical phone interview.

The interviewer was late calling me, and when he finally did call, he wasn't very talkative. He copied and pasted the technical questions into the shared coding space and then said very little to me about them.

I felt kind of awkward because I was the only one talking for almost all of the 45 minutes. In the end, I felt good about the code that I had written, but not about the overall interview.
