Upcoming Interviews at Rivian & Samsara
Hi Folks, I have upcoming virtual on-site interviews at Rivian & Samsara for Senior software Engineer roles in bay area with Remote option at Rivian. I'll be grateful if you can answer few of my questions about these places - 1. Which place do you think is better in terms of maximizing learning. Work at Rivian is related to factory operations optimization while at Samsara its a Growth Engineering role. Both are software related. 2. Whats the highest TC that can be negotiated for Senior level at these two companies. Is one better than the other for maximizing compensation? 3. Is one a better brand name for resume over the other. A better brand name is a nice bonus but not a deal breaker for me. Current TC - 247k, YOE - 4 #rivianautomotive #samsara #engineering #software #swe
If it’s a good match Samara won’t lose you on comp typically.
Thanks for replying. Do you have compensation numbers you have seen for senior roles with experience in ballpark of under 5 years?
Also curious what rivians process is like
If you meant Interview process, here's what i've been told - 1. Recruiter Call 2. Manager Call 4. On-Site (4-5 General SE Rounds) 5. Leadership Round
Is there design? Or just lc and behavioral?
