I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Boston Dynamics
Interview
The good: Robots were cool, interesting environment, small company feel.
The bad: Only asked technical questions (including standing at a whiteboard and doing problems on the spot) and didn't seem to care about getting to know me as a person or knowing about my career aspirations. Asked questions to intentionally try and trip you up. They were over 30 minutes late bringing me in for the interview. Non-diverse workforce. Heavily skewed towards MIT grads. The engineers seemed cliquey and unwelcoming.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked me to get up on the board, do problems, draw graphs about random things.
Really fun and engaging. We took turns in a group session to use our robots. We talked about our achievements in the field and life ambitions. It was an excellent experience and we really enjoyed it as a group.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Dynamics (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
The interview process was very straight forward, they did their phone interview then asked for a person interview shortly followed by a second interview. The last of which however felt as if the interviewer was not human, almost as a machine but I could be over thinking things, I tend to do that.
