The candidate process with Samsara was one of the most unprofessional and EEO uncompliant I've experienced in my career. The overall hiring process (nearly a copy of Amazon's process) is unnecessarily complex and convoluted with multiple tiers and panels - wasting time and capacity of all involved; without adding value. The recruiter who worked with me was unprofessional and rude. During a call with her, she was eating a meal (munching in my ear). She initiated the call and so could have called at a time when she available to focus on the discussion rather than her lunch. The recruiter also violated EEO policies when she explained that my location fell in to a lower salary tier (despite cost of living being equivalent to Bay Area) because, "there were a lot of poor people" in my location. No one from Samsara ever contacted me after the final candidate interview despite exchanging texts with the recruiter to coordinate timing for a debrief the day of the interview. Samara didn't even send the generic, "thank you but we've selected another candidate" email. Samsara completely ghosted at the candidate level. Overall, after going through a very lengthy process as a final candidate, Samsara left a very poor impression of the company and its team. Samsara later sent a survey request two months post-candidate interview and to which I provided input on the experience. However, no one from the company ever reached out to follow up.
