I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Medtronic (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Jun 2016
Interview
Met with the senior engineer who was in charge of me during my internship. She asked about my previous research and project experience and gave me a brief introduction of daily duties.
Unfortunately, my experience with the interview process was quite unprofessional. The interviewer seemed more focused on quizzing me with questions rather than having a meaningful conversation. When I asked questions about the role and the company, my questions were either ignored or answered with unrelated information. It felt like there was a lack of genuine engagement or interest from their side, which left a negative impression.
Fast, brief. It was for placement for college. Compulsory as part of the course. 9months total, paid. 2 interviews, both the same 2 people from the company. Note that I could not throw the interview (even if it was in another county) as it's first-come-first-serve so if I was picked I had to go with them. Was lucky I'm living in Galway anyway.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
(relating to a part-time job in retail) if you had a difficult customer who was shouting, how would you de-escelate the situation?
The process was relatively simple. There was first a call with a senior member of the team. Then there was a longer video call with the whole team with several short segments of small groups of interviewers. Lastly, there was a segment with just the manager.
