I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic in Sept 2011
Interview
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.

Interview
Had an in-person interview with the hiring manager, then a virtual panel interview. It was clear from the very beginning that they had someone in mind for the role, and even asked me how I would handle getting the role over someone internally who was also interviewing for the role, and how I'd make working with them go smoothly. I'm a professional, but this was the worst interview I've ever had. Multiple gotcha questions, and any time I answered a question with my experience, they downplayed my experience saying that this was a hard sales job, as if I'm not already currently selling medical devices in an equally if not more difficult market. Also the guy asking these questions wasn't even the boss, he was a fellow Territory Manager. The whole thing was bogus.
