I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic
Interview
Long interview process. Interview process to be conducted by different functions and team members. Trying to assess fit with the team and technical expertise. Focus on resume of individual and his or her experience.
It was a very dry interview. Interviewers seemed very uninterested and was being forced to interview which made the interview uncomfortable. One interviewer even sighed when it was my turn to ask questions about the role.
I applied online. I interviewed at Medtronic (Brooklyn Center, MN) in Jun 2025
Interview
Initial HR screening. Was quick but good way to segway into the next parts of the interview process. Gave me a really good opportunity to get to know more about the role before meeting the team.
