      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Oct 17, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Burlington, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at iRobot (Burlington, MA) in Jul 2017

      Interview

      The day was very long, I had a tour and met with numerous people during the process. The hiring "talent" guy was super nice and pretty much convinced me that I was the candidate for the role and that I was very well liked by everyone. Well, I did not hear back from the "talent" guy until almost 3 weeks later at 2am on a Saturday morning! Yes that is when he emailed me to tell me they went with someone else. This whole talent acquisition nonsense has to go, this is a layer of people that job jump, they don't care about you nor do they care about stringing you along. This whole talent team thing has to go, they are making the process for candidates very painful.
