I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intuitive (Sunnyvale, CA) in June 2017
Interview
After passing the initial phone screen with the hiring manager, I took a day off of work to interview with Intuitive. I was asked to perform a presentation to the staff, which took several hours to prepare for, and had a full day of interviews, which seemed to go well, but not amazing. However, post interview, it was complete silence from the company, with not even a form letter to let me know if they had gone in a different direction. I expected better professional courtesy from such a successful and established company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of their senior engineers asked a technical question regarding a process with a specific material he mentioned, and then said my answers had missed a possible explanation - giving an example of a solution that only applied to a different material but not the material in the original question.
