  Samsara Account Executive interview: recruiter, hiring manager, and panel finalSamsara · Account Executive · HR Screen · Jul 2026

  After a quick recruiter conversation, I spoke with the hiring manager. Those early calls were information focused rather than overly formal. The recruiter set context, and the hiring manager asked about my past experience, what I wanted in a company, and whether my background matched the role. The process was organized and not overly complicated. I moved through a small number of rounds, but the…

  Samsara Software Engineer interview: a thoughtful reroutingSamsara · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026

  Rejected

  I began with a recruiter conversation about my background. The recruiter did not think the role I applied for was the best fit, but instead of ending the process, he suggested another position in the Routing organization. I was unsure whether I had the right skills, though the problem domain interested me enough to continue. I did not reach the next stage, but the process felt thoughtful. The rec…

  Samsara Software Engineer interview with Level 2 and Level 3 roundsSamsara · Software Engineer · Other · May 2026

  Offer

  My interview journey felt like it was built around a lot of rounds and gatekeeping. The process was described as two main stages: Level 2 first, followed by Level 3 if I cleared everything in Level 2. I was told I had to pass all the Level 2 interviews to move forward. Once I became eligible for Level 3, I would go through another set of managerial and technical rounds to finish. Even with that s…

  After several recruiter conversations, the process moved through technical discussions, a system design exercise, and a cultural fit check. The recruiting team kept everything organized, and the interviews felt efficient and coherent. One early step was described as a quick verification call with the recruiter. The system design exercise was supposed to be simple rather than elaborate. I also got…

  Samsara Account Executive interview where the evaluation felt impression-basedSamsara · Account Executive · Mar 2026

  The beginning felt fairly normal. I had a recruiter screen with basic resume questions, then spoke with the hiring manager about the role. Those early interviews were quick and structured, so I thought I was in good shape. The tone changed once I got deeper into the process. During the manager conversation, I felt as if I'd already been marked down somehow because of how I "looked the part," even…

  Samsara QA Automation Engineer interview, HIL take-home projectSamsara · QA Automation Engineer · Onsite · Mar 2026

  I started with a pleasant Zoom call with the hiring manager, followed by a recruiter call that focused mostly on whether I wanted to continue. I was told the next steps would include coding and a take-home project. After I shared my availability, they scheduled four hours of interviews on one day. They didn’t explain beforehand that it would essentially function as a virtual onsite, so I tried to…

  Samsara Software Engineer interview: hiring manager deep dive and TPS roundSamsara · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Mar 2026

  My process started with an HR call about project details and what I was looking for. That quickly led into a hiring manager deep dive, which also included a TPS round within the same hour. The TPS question wasn't too difficult and didn't feel like standard LeetCode. I didn't move forward after that, but the experience was reasonably straightforward. I understood what I was being evaluated on, and…

  Samsara Solutions Engineer interview: deal metrics and a take-home presentationSamsara · Solutions Engineer · HR Screen · Mar 2026

  The process was more demanding than I expected. It went through several rounds, starting with HR and then moving into sales leadership. The overall acceptance rate felt low. They placed a lot of emphasis on showing a growth mindset, and the questions pushed me to be very specific about deal metrics. I had to prepare to go beyond surface-level answers. The interviews mixed behavioral prompts with…
