I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Boston Scientific (Marlborough, MA)
Interview
SLOW! Took close to half a year between applying, interviewing and receiving an offer. It's like they purposly lead you on and drag their feet to see if you're in it for the long haul.

There was a meeting on teams with a coordinator, then another meeting with the hiring manager before an in person interview in hemel hempsted where you have to give a presentation. overall an easy process.
I interviewed for a the job at Boston Scientific, and the process was structured and professional. It started with an online application, followed by a phone screening with a recruiter about my background and the role. Next was a video interview with the hiring manager, where I answered technical and behavioral questions. The final round was a panel interview with senior team members, including a case study discussion. A week later, HR reached out with an offer. Overall, it was a smooth process with clear communication, and the interviewers were friendly and insightful.

Question 1
Can you describe a time when you faced a challenge and how you resolved it?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Boston Scientific (Maple Grove, MN) in Feb 2025
Interview
It was two interviews and then they decided to select another candidate but overall the process was good and the interviewers were knowledgeable and pleasant to speak with. Aside from that, Boston Scientific is a very large and competitive company and very difficult to even get into the interview process.
