      Difficult interview

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Medtronic in Aug 2020

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Medtronic (Louisville, CO) in Sep 2016

      Interview

      After a short phone interview, a face-to-face interview was scheduled. It was a group interview, that is, one after another conducted the interview. It took about four hours. It took place in a small conference room. The interviewers seemed more uncomfortable than me, or at least, they seem to be distracted by the work at their desk that wasn't getting done.
