      Principal Engineer Interview

      8 Jan 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Medtronic

      Interview

      Spent 5 hours interviewing with 11 different people in surgical robotics. After sending out a thank you note to all interviewers, I did not hear back from anyone. Multiple follow-ups and 2 months later, I finally heard back with a generic email template that they decided to move forward with other candidates. I was shocked with the disrespect and disregard shown towards my time.

      Principal Engineer Interview

      8 Sept 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Littleton, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Medtronic (Littleton, MA) in Sept 2022

      Interview

      After an initial phone screen I was invited to interview on-site with their team. For the interview I was asked to prepare a presentation and then present during the interview to about 6 attendees. The presentation guidelines were open-ended so I covered most of the applications throughout my career. This part was not difficult, but the formality of how they wanted questions answered according to STAR method was distracting. Specifically, they asked answers to be structured as Situation, Task, Action, and Result.

      Describe a situation where you disagreed with management decision and what you did about it.
