Out of curiosity, for what specialties? I appreciate your help in getting my resume in front of humans up there, but I'm still kinda upset I couldn't get anyone to even talk to me.
Also, y'all better be nice to my first-cousin-one-removed-in-law.
Both of the people that we hired through my iRobot posts are embedded software engineers (both on my team, actually).
I'm sorry that we didn't get back to you, though - I saw that I replied to you when you asked about your status, but our HR people should have closed the loop with you too. That's our bad; my apologies!
I think we've gotten a lot better at recruiting communication in the last couple of years, both for "yes" and "no" situations. Of course that doesn't help you from a while ago, but hopefully it's better for more recent candidates.
On this - I was one of those hired by iRobot from one of these threads, and this was the guy who I first spoke to about the job!
