Process
Recruiter call and then coder pad - similar experience as many mentioned here. Received auto rejection mail next day. Interviewer was friendly, but not sure if they are serious about hiring process or assessing the talent pool out there.

Smart People, Great Culture, Fascinating Product
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
July 12, 2018
Pros: I love Samsara!
* The company maintains a high talent bar across all teams, especially engineering.
* The technology platform is very modern (Go, Typescript, React, GraphQL).
* Kind, caring, funny coworkers - the company has great values.
* The product is very well positioned to be a major IoT platform.
* It feels like the company is firing on all cylinders.
* There are lots of opportunities for rapid career growth.
* Phenomenal executive leadership.
Cons: Since there is so much opportunity for business/product expansion, the team can be stretched a bit thin at times.
The company moves very fast, so priorities can shift quickly at times. There are also many benefits that come from this.

Pros: - High-growth atmosphere provides great opportunities for personal and technical growth.
- Excellent engineering management.
- The company puts real resources into keeping engineering output high (internal tooling, deploy systems, etc.).
- Fun business problems lead to fun technical challenges.
Cons: High growth can sometimes mean fast priority shifts. A few of these in a row can be frustrating, and, as at any company, sometimes communication breaks down in the shuffle.
