I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Medtronic (Memphis, TN)
Interview
Received an email asking for an in person interview later that week.
It was a 7 person panel. 1 HR, 2 managers, 2 senior engineers, 1 mid level engineer, and one junior engineer seated around a table, introduced themselves and explained the process and took turns asking questions about my resume, and then used situational questions. "Tell me of a time when..."
They were very friendly, and tried to make it a lot less stressful than it could have been.
Unfortunately, my experience with the interview process was quite unprofessional. The interviewer seemed more focused on quizzing me with questions rather than having a meaningful conversation. When I asked questions about the role and the company, my questions were either ignored or answered with unrelated information. It felt like there was a lack of genuine engagement or interest from their side, which left a negative impression.
Fast, brief. It was for placement for college. Compulsory as part of the course. 9months total, paid. 2 interviews, both the same 2 people from the company. Note that I could not throw the interview (even if it was in another county) as it's first-come-first-serve so if I was picked I had to go with them. Was lucky I'm living in Galway anyway.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
(relating to a part-time job in retail) if you had a difficult customer who was shouting, how would you de-escelate the situation?
The process was relatively simple. There was first a call with a senior member of the team. Then there was a longer video call with the whole team with several short segments of small groups of interviewers. Lastly, there was a segment with just the manager.
