I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic (Northridge, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
The recruiters are clueless as to what they are doing. The interview was set up with the executive and it was a good interview. When I followed with the recruiter she let me know they were still interviewing candidates and they would know who they were moving forward with the following week. I never heard back from anyone at all. This is highly unprofessional and is violation of California Labor Laws. If a candidate comes in to interview you MUST follow up with the them to let them know if they are moving forward with another candidate. So they violate labor laws and have no respect for peoples time. That speaks volumes to me of what kind of organization Medtronic is. I would never apply for a position with a company who is already violating labor laws......not a good sign at all. Run dont walk to a different employer.

Question 1
They asked me if I was married or not. Which was bizarre.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Medtronic (London, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
Appalling. The interview process was chaotic. The first Teams interview was scheduled but cancelled last minute. The rescheduled interview was also cancelled last minute. The third interview was not cancelled, but guess what? No-one turned up. Anyway, I finally had an interview and was told that the whole process would take around 4 weeks as it involved being interviewed by the person who the role was supporting, HR and then someone else. Turns out they already had someone in mind as the following week my application was rejected as they found someone more suited to the role. Evidently they had already chosen someone so I don't understand why they said the process would take 4 weeks. Doesn't sound very professional does it?

covered the most important question to build an overview of the candidate. the communication prior to the interview was via phone calls. several emails followed the call to decide the interview appointment.

Question 1
about skills, background and experience in general
Interview process was longer than usually what I’ve experienced. It took around two months from date of my application. However, TA team and interviewers were nice throughout my encounters. Pretty disappointed with the outcome whereby it looked hopeful. Regardless, it’s an experience.
