I applied through other source. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Medtronic (Villalba, PR) in Apr 2009
Interview
Phone called for interview with HR. Initial screening with HR by phone. Set for personal interview at the plant. Met with HR rep. She took me to manager's office where panel interview (3 people) was conducted. Phone call for job offer. Sent Benefits description through email. I have questions regarding benefits. She took 5 weeks to answer basic benefits questions. At an offer negotiation meeting they would not know answers to basic benefits questions like how much dollards does the insurance cover for eyeglasses. Since they took long in answering the questions the position went for revaluation at the new fiscal year. They said the position went into freeze until budgeting process was completed. No further communication from them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle transition between a different industry an this industry?
It was a very dry interview. Interviewers seemed very uninterested and was being forced to interview which made the interview uncomfortable. One interviewer even sighed when it was my turn to ask questions about the role.
I applied online. I interviewed at Medtronic (Brooklyn Center, MN) in Jun 2025
Interview
Initial HR screening. Was quick but good way to segway into the next parts of the interview process. Gave me a really good opportunity to get to know more about the role before meeting the team.
