Interviewed Jan 2011 in Maple Grove, MN (took 3 months)
Interview of shorter then expected. Make sure to review website and product divisions and be ready to discuss. The more you know about the devices the better! I thought the phone interview was more challenges then the panel interview as the questions asked in the phone interview were very specific to the posting whereas the face-to-face interview was more general.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took a day)
It was a great experience interviewing with Boston Scientific. From application to the end of the interview, the whole process was very organized. People from their company were nice. During my interview, besides some behavior questions like "tell me about a good and a bad decision you have made and compare them", he also asked about how I utilized my technique skills in my previous experience. So apparently they want people with IS background and knowledge.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Minneapolis, MN (took 3 weeks)
The interview took the whole day, around 8 hours. First I interviewed with two potential co-workers, then the Director, then a manager from a different department, met with an HR rep for questions, and then finally an interview with the supervisor. It is a long day, be prepared to answer questions in the STAR format (situation, task, action, result), and be prepared for some stress questions.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Saint Paul, MN (took 2 weeks)
Boston Scientific came to my campus to recruit students for internships. They called me the night following the career fair for an interview the next day. The next day there was an interview with 2 engineers and then a short one with a manager. It took about two weeks to get an offer by mail.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 days)
Two interviews. The first was with a Director of Sales and was very conversational. Briefly discussed resume and work experience, then moved on to behavioral questions. The second interview was less conversational and more traditional interview style with many behavioral questions. Both interviewers were very passionate about the company and informative about the role I was interviewing for. Very quick turn around, I received a response from them in a week.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Arden Hills, MN (took 1 week)
One on one interview consisted of a full day of interviewing with a new person every hour. The interviewers appeared to have different roles as each dug in to a different part of my background. Some were friendly and others were almost confrontational. It was a bad experience and I would not accept a position there if it had been offered.
