Interviewed May 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took a day)
The manager set up a time to call me, and we had a pleasant talk over the phone. He directly told me that he would be asking me some behavior type of question. He asked 4-5 questions and offered me on spot.

We started with an online application along with posting of a current resume and transcript. Then an on campus interview was scheduled for 2 weeks after the date the application was submitted.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 months)
Phone interivewed with the Hiring Manager. Was asked 1 week later to come in for a face to face interview to meet with the rest of the team. Interviewed with 4 people. All behavioral based quesitons. After interview followed up with a thank you to each interviewer. Recieved no response from anyone. Followed up with 3 calls and 4 emails to the Hiring Manager, again no response to any form of my communication. 2 months later was called and offered the position. I was still in my job search but declined Medtronic offer
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Negative candidate experience. Would not want to work for a comapny who can not show common courtesy by returning a call or an email on a status update. I was also an employee referral.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Columbia Heights, MN (took a day)
I was recruited for this position by a contract staffing firm. The interview was with two supervisors and the helpdesk's trainer on a conference call. While I didn't go into the office for an in-person interview I had a good perception of the team when I spoke with them over the phone. They were pleasant, to the point and were very eager to find and bring on job candidates quickly. I was hired solely on the phone interview.

Negotiation Details
The staffing firm was not very flexible on the pay rate. But at least try, especially if you are in a position where you have more than one offer to choose from.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Jacksonville, FL (took 2 months)
Applied online in early June 2011, was emailed the next day from a recruiter and asked to fill out screening form, this form had questions such as employment history, things you enjoy and dislike about your current position, salary requirements etc. Pretty much like an interview on paper. She called two days later to set up phone screening with hiring manager. Had a phone interview with hiring manager less than 1 week after applying for the position. One week passed and was invited to fly in for in person interview paid for by the company. That interview consisted of 3 different 1 on 1 interviews. About a month later was asked to come again for second in person interview which consisted of 3 more 1 on 1 interviews and a presentation. A lot of the interview questions were based on behavioral situations. Be prepared for questions that pertain to what would you do if you were in this situation or how have you handled a situation with a rude coworker or customer. All of the people I interviewed with were pleasant and seemed interested in the interview process.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Moundsview, MN (took a day)
tough interview process. Had to give a presentation, plus meet one on one with many of the people that I would be potentially working with. Everyone is very nice (like most Minnesotans), but it is a company with a lot of smart people so they don;t make it easy on you.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 1+ week)
After receiving resume, got a call from manager and he scheduled for a interview. People are very crazy on interview, there is no process just they fire useless questions and out of area questions. Just they want to make that you are a fool.

Reason for Declining
People just want to bring some and play with them. For them its Time pass interview.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
I was blindsided at the 1:1 Interview when they had set up another interview without letting me know in advance. That did not bother me but just know it may happen. I took a personality test before the interview but they would not share results. The 1:1 interview focused on skills they thought I may not have enough experience in as well as typical behavioral questions.
