Interviews were fair and thorough. Met with multiple members of the product team. Also greatly appreciated working with the university talent manager as well as the entire talent acquisition team.

Question 1
Asked why I was choosing hardware product management as opposed to other types of product management.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at iRobot (Burlington, MA) in May 2022
Interview
The interview process was lengthy to say the least. Call with HR, then the hiring manager + a few others. Then they sent a product to use to prepare a presentation on how you'd continue to develop the product. Then an in person, 8 hr marathon with cross functional team + your presentation.
It's a pretty massive time sink for someone who already has a full time job. . .
