      Associate Embedded Software Engineer Interview

      27 Jun 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Bedford, MA
      Accepted offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at iRobot

      Interview

      I applied online and got a response asking for a phone interview within a few days. Since I'm not in the Boston area, I had two technical phone interviews, and then they decided not to bring me in on-site - no offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me a lot about embedded systems (expected) and went into some detail with object-oriented programming.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at iRobot (Bedford, MA)

      Interview

      Talked about the opportunities at a career fair. I applied online for several positions. An administrator contacted me to schedule a phone interview. It was postponed twice or three times before I talked with a software engineer, who asked me to sketch some algorithms and code online. Then I got two on-site interviews, both of which took several hours. Most of the questions were about easy control algorithm design and low-level implementations.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design a homing algorithm for the robot

      Associate Embedded Software Engineer Interview

      14 Apr 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Pittsburgh, PA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at iRobot (Pittsburgh, PA) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      The phone interview was canceled 1 hour before the schedule time. The HR sent the email to tell me this tragedy because they already found someone for that position. The interesting thing is the interviewer, who is the senior software engineer, still called me and didn't know about cancelling. It seems they don't have good communication between HR and engineer.
