I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at iRobot (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2014
Interview
I dropped off my resume during a campus career fair. After the career fair, it took about one to three months to hear back from a hiring manager. It was very flexible to schedule a phone interview with them, which lasted about an hour. We talked about past projects I have worked on and what future plans are. In the technical part, I was given college-level math concepts to describe in English and some programming/design questions.
