Interview
The interviewing process is rigorous. You can tell that they are truly looking for the right fit. They also truly care about you during the entire process, and literally think of everything you could possibly need while you're going through the process.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Instrument (Portland, OR) in Feb 2026
Interview
Spoke with HR for an initial screen, then asked to meet the hiring manager and prepare a slide presentation demonstrating a project for a role I’ve been doing for years.
A recruiter screening call, and then you’re asked to conduct a 20 min case study with the senior leads. If you pass that, you are asked to meet the team and discuss qualifications for an hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Challenge questions regarding your case study, basic experience questions, and lots of collaborative skill questions
I found the team to be really nice and well prepared for all meetings and the setup was very clear. Good conversation and I knew what was expected at each point in the process.
