Interviewed Dec 2011 in Memphis, TN (took a day)
Interviewer was a Product Engineer; he did not seem excited to be there. Unemotionally, he went through the required packet of questions for HR until we could have a "normal conversation." Questions were mostly about my experiences in engineering and team work. The interview had an hour time slot but only took 30 minutes. Nothing out of the normal was asked.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 days)
Medtronic uses the behavior based method. "Tell me about a time..." Each interviewer is assigned a few of Medtronic's core competencies to focus on, and then they come together post-interview to debrief. They were specific in their questions, and they would follow up if I didn't address the specific scenario they were trying to get at.

Negotiation Details
Part of the value of working at Medtronic is the experience, not really a competitive salary. Use your entrance into the company as your opportunity to negotiate, as any subsequent promotions will be partly determined by your initial salary.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Brooklyn Center, MN (took a day)
I interviewed with the Hiring manager, human resources and fellow team members. Most of the questions were, "Tell me about a time..." Be prepared to give SMART answers. The hiring manager was a bit off script with his questions such as, "How do you deal with someone that you don't like?"

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 days)
I was initially contacted by a recruitment agency for the same position. Upon finding out that I had already applied for it via a website, they got out of the way and from then on I had direct contact with the HR personnel of the company. Their way of communication was quite personable, the relaxed attitude of the two managers and one HR person present at my interview put me at great ease.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
The first interview went very well. The DM spent 2 hours with me. A few days later, a TM called me for a field ride that lasted all day. I interviewed with him and the DM after the interview. I found this to be a little strange as the DM did not ask any questions. This interview was 90 minutes. The TM basically asked me the same questions as I had in the first interview. The DM did not even call me to tell me I did not get the position. The TM called to tell me another candidate with relationships had been offered the position.
