Probably the worst process any company has ever put me through. I had a recruiter screen, hiring manager screen, district manager screen, engineer screen, technical quiz which required over 30 hours of studying, and then a 45 minute long final presentation which took over a week of preparation only to be given a generic rejection telling me they went with someone else and would keep my information on file and refer me to their other positions as they open up. Never again will I let a company waste my time like Medtronic did and give me the absolute disrespect of a generic rejection after the amount of effort I put in. Six interviews has to be a joke and they were just testing if I was enough of a fool to keep showing up.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic in Apr 2018
Interview
I was given a phone interview. At the end of the phone interview, the Medtronic representative talked to me about an email she would be sending me once the interview ended. The email would include a link to Medtronic Academy, where I had to set up an account and complete a Coronary Back to Basics course. This course was broken up into 8 WEEKS and after looking further, it was a course that gave current employees education credits/hours. After completing the course I reached out to the representative who interviewed me and I never received a response. Shortly after I received a generic email from the Talent Acquisition Team stating I am no longer being considered for the position. I find this process extremely unprofessional as it is really unheard of to have potential employees complete coursework that they are not being paid for and are still unsure if they are being considered for a position, let alone another interview.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Medtronic (Utah, TN) in Mar 2026
Interview
Pretty straight forward just a super long process. Multiple phone calls and in person meet ups. Overall not very challenging though. Just took like 2 months to get an answer. Good experience overall though.
6 week process, started with recruiter screen, hiring manager zoom, then field ride with rep. I also networked with the current local CS team with phone calls. They encouraged me to do as many informational interviews as possible with the local team.
