I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic (Northridge, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
First round was a phone screening with a guy I met at a university career fair. He asked me about some of the classes I was taking, and he asked me specific questions about statistics since I was in a statistics class. Then he asked me for a second round interview and a site tour. It was a 4-5 hour process. I met my interviewer for lunch, then he gave me a tour of the company, and that was followed by an interview with the manager and then a panel interview with the engineering team I would be working with. There were a lot of in-depth, technical questions about what I had done at my previous internship. It was a fairly difficult interview, and it was exhausting by the end of the day, but overall it seemed like they were pleased.

I interviewed at Medtronic (Lisbon, Lisbon District)
Interview
Demasiadas entrevistas, demora excessiva tempo de resposta, processo confuso e desorganizado. Vaga alega que não precisa de experiência mas no final escolhem alguém com experiência de mais de 1 ano
The interview was with one person. They were very nice. They asked the standard behavioral questions, so they could assess how I would fit into the role and the environment.

Question 1
Explain a time you worked with a difficult team member. How did you overcome it?
Interview isn't technical but more behavioral based. I think the questions were fairly general and a good grasp of team work skills. multiple rounds, SMART Technique for answering the questions
