I found the team to be really nice and well prepared for all meetings and the setup was very clear. Good conversation and I knew what was expected at each point in the process.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Instrument (Portland, OR) in Feb 2026
Interview
Spoke with HR for an initial screen, then asked to meet the hiring manager and prepare a slide presentation demonstrating a project for a role I’ve been doing for years.
A recruiter screening call, and then you’re asked to conduct a 20 min case study with the senior leads. If you pass that, you are asked to meet the team and discuss qualifications for an hour.
