The interview process at Samsara is very strong. They are transparent, follow through on timelines, and give concrete feedback to you every step of the way.
By the end of the interview process, I felt like I had a quality understanding of the role, team, and company itself. The team is not afraid to ask you challenging questions but that is an evidence to them being very thorough and ensuring that they hire the right people.
Lastly, the recruiter does a great job at making themself available and helping you feel prepared throughout the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk to me about a time where you disagreed with a coworker and what was the end result of this situation.
Very nice interviewers, but lack of communication once you're removed from the process. When you advance to the next round, they communicate quickly, but they never sent a rejection despite being further in the process. Their web portal is a good idea in theory but is not actually updated with your interview status.

Interview
The interview process was well-organized start to finish and every person I spoke with was impressive. Samsara sends solid prep materials in advance and is upfront that interviews are behavioral and values-based. Know their company values cold and use STAR for everything.
The mock EBR is the most challenging piece. Practice delivering it with live interruptions because the panel will ask questions throughout and you need to stay on track without losing your flow.
The recruiter was responsive and communicative the whole way through. Overall a great experience.
Advice: Map your stories to Samsara’s values before you go in and come with strong questions for each interviewer. They reserve time for it and it matters.

Question 1
The interviews are heavily behavioral so expect questions like “Tell me about a time you identified risk on an account before the customer raised it” or “Describe a situation where you had to align internal teams around a customer outcome.” Every question ties back to their company values — that’s the throughline across all rounds.

Interview
The process moved from a recruiter outreach to a hiring manager screen, then a mock EBR presentation, and finally back-to-back senior leader behavioral panels. Well-organized start to finish and every person I spoke with was impressive.
