I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Jul 2024
Interview
This was easily the worst interview experience I've had so far in my career. The recruiter appeared and disappeared whenever she felt like it. Nobody confirmed or called at the time scheduled for the initial phone interview. A few weeks later the recruiter reappeared again and was finally able to confirm a time for a phone call. Interview was weirdly focused on my current company and what I/we do instead of the position itself. The location of the advertised position was changed on the spot during the interview and it felt like the recruiter was doing chores at home while being totally uninterested in the interview. The manager was supposed to follow up, which never happened and the recruiter disappeared again. There was no insight given whatsoever into why I was rejected but couldn't be because of education or experience. This was a total waste of time and yet, somehow, the recruiter is praised for her professionalism on her LinkedIn profile.
