The recruiter reached out and was very friendly. Had an initial phone call with hiring manager. Granted, my previous experiences and background aren't completely in line with the work done at iRobot. But interviewer was extremely respectful, seemed engaged and attentive to my answers, and overall a nice person to speak to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
previous experiences, why irobot, have you used specific equipment
I applied online. I interviewed at iRobot in Mar 2018
Interview
Multiple interviews, professional and courteous. Nice headquarters. Good offer with good benefits and a nice, successful company. Did not accept but overall impressed and recommend. Company culture and employees seem happy and taken care of.
It was an online interview conducted over zoom. There was a person who greeted me for about 10 minutes, then I met with two engineers. When the engineers started interviewing me, one thing they were very keen on understanding my thought process. Advice I would give is to have some way that you would be able to show how you approach an engineering/robotics problem.
