I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Samsara (Bengaluru) in May 2026
Interview
The first round was a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview in the second round. Both the recruiter and the interviewer were highly professional throughout the process. After the initial screening, the technical interview was scheduled promptly, within one to two days.

Interview
