Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Samsara (Kraków) nel mese di ago 2022
Colloquio
HR contacted me via LinkedIn and the interview was supposed to be in 2 phases. I got rejected in the first round which was the coding round. they mentioned coding question is open-ended, not needed to be complete but I think they were looking for complete implementation. the sad part is they don't provide any feedback as well. that is absurd.

Only had an initial call with a frankly clueless recruiter. Could tell me very little about the role, what I would be working on, or even the tech stack. Interrupted me constantly and kept asking me if I had any more questions when she couldn't even answer the few I did have. Probably the worst HR phone screen I've ever had, and I've had a few.
Recruiter round was smooth and professional. However, the technical interview didn’t match what was described. The prep materials clearly said no Leetcode, and focused on Samsara's system related.
I prepared accordingly, but the interview ended up being a standard Leetcode medium. Disappointed by the mismatch — if algorithm questions are preferred, let candidates know.
Advice to others:
Prepare for Leetcode
