Colloquio
Samsara's Data Engineer interview feels more like a friendly chat with a colleague than a stressful code test. It's engaging and way less formal, making the whole experience refreshing. One area for improvement could be providing candidates with better information about the interview content beforehand.
- Initial contact: Started with a recruiter's call to discuss the role and my experience.
- Duration: Four weeks, blending technical skills with behavioral questions.
- First Round: One hour of talking about API development, and SQL, with a coding exercise.
- Second Round, Part 1: An hour focused on general software engineering, Object-Oriented Programming, and data management coding tasks.
- Second Round, Part 2: 45 minutes on Data Engineering best practices, Cloud tech, and behavioral assessment.
- Third Round: Concluded with a 30-minute chat on personal fit and soft skills.

Be sure to check email frequently, because I missed my coding challenge email and HR is not responding to your retake request, from what I hear their coding question for internship is easy

Colloquio
It was a fairly thorough process. Multiple points of communication with the team and the recruiter. Everyone was very friendly. I'd expect a take home (<4 hours), as it seems Samsara prefers that style of assessment.

Domanda 1
Samsara does give an NDA, so I can't give details. I'd recommend practicing common behavioral and technical questions.
