      Principal R&D Engineer Interview

      28 Sept 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Fridley, MN
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic (Fridley, MN) in May 2010

      Interview

      Typical hiring process with HR heavy influence on questions of times challenged or when you had to "go against the grain to get something done" although the reality is they don't really want this attitude. The best way to get into Medtronic is if you know somebody on the inside who can recommend you, they put much stock in prior reference from existing employees.

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time when management made a decision that you completely disagreed with, how did you respond?
