I was contacted by a third-party staffing agency. There were two interviews, first with the manager and an engineer, on Teams. The second interview was one hour on site with the whole team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's your motivation for working here? Have you ever worked with physical products before?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Intuitive (Sunnyvale, CA) in July 2018
Interview
I had two phone screenings, which mostly consisted of asking about projects I did and my internship experience. I then had an on-campus interview, where I did four 30-minute 1:1 interviews. The interviewers' relaxed attitude helped diffuse some of the nervousness I had going into the interview. While there were some last-minute changes to my interview schedule, they did a great job of keeping me in the loop. Best interview experience I've had so far!

Question 1
Picked up an Expo marker and asked how I would manufacture it if it were made out of stainless steel.
We appreciate your positive review and we try to do our best to avoid changes, however, it appears you were constantly kept in the loop so we're happy to hear that. Welcome aboard!
Very quick thirty minute call regarding my background and how I would like to grow within the company. I then got a call that I got the position a few weeks later
