Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Itron.
Software Test Engineer
This involved two technical interviews, a manager interview, and an HR interview. The first technical interview focused on automation, while the second was more about programming. The manager interview was primarily about process. The HR interview was for salary negotiation.
- Can you explain object-oriented programming concepts?
- Tell me about your experience with Selenium.
- Describe your approach to debugging in C#.
Test Engineer
I first had a phone interview with an HR person. Then, a week later, I got invited for an on-site interview. They told me I was up against three other people. A week after that first on-site interview, I was invited for a second interview. The phone interview was mainly about my work ethic, personality, and resume. Both on-site interviews were super deep, like I was glad I studied. They asked a lot about six sigma, RF signals, and general failure analysis.
- What are the challenges and benefits of aiming for six sigma production levels?
- How significant is six sigma?
- Why would it be acceptable to aim for only 4 or 3 sigma levels?
Systems Test Engineer
I only went through the initial recruiter interview. I didn't get to interview further because the recruiter ghosted me. It's been over a month, and it's clear the recruiter didn't even bother to send a basic rejection email.
- Inquire about the source of awareness for the job opening.
