      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at iRobot

      Interview

      First interview was with recruiter for 30 min phone screening. Second interview was in depth discussion of what I have done in my current job. Asked about the responsibility of the open position. Didn't progress further as job was not a match.

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at iRobot in Aug 2018

      Interview

      I had an initial call followed by the coding round on Hacker Rank which was quite simple. I did good enough I believe but didn't heard from iRobot for 2 months, After 2 months I got an email from the recruiter saying sorry for the delay and asking me if I am still interested, I replied saying that I am interested, its been 1 month since I write a follow up email after my initial reply. I am sorry to say, but it was a seriously bad experience. If that is the norm with iRobot, then it is fine.

      Question 1
