Process
First, I had a call with the recruiter who explained the interview process, followed with the Technical Phone Screen, which lasts 1 hour. I was asked the same problem that's mentioned in other posts. Don't waste your time interviewing with Samsara. I aced the interview; the interviewer was also really happy with my solution, but I received a reject the next day without any feedback. A complete waste of time.
