I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Medtronic (Louisville, CO) in Aug 2021
Interview
The first video interview took about half an hour to complete and mainly focused on soft skills and a light overview of my resume and how I could be a good fit for the company.

Question 1
They asked me basic questions about how my background makes me a good fit for the position and what specific experience I have with Test engineering.
1st round technical based on the job description, 2nd round was more team based questions, it was relatively straightforward, You have to prepare well, and be ready to discuss your resume in full detail.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself? Talk about a project/work in your resume
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic in Aug 2024
Interview
HR screen, Hiring manager interview, then 4 one on one interviews with different members of the team. Not very technical for the most part, just talking about experience, skills and abilities.
However after the 4 interviews they ghosted. This is not a good company to work for. Then I did research and read about the frequent annual layoffs that happen in Apr-May each year.
No matter how big a company is ghosting is simply unprofessional. It is a clear sign that the company does not think much of the people they are interviewing. If they truly valued "talent" they wouldn't ghost candidates after both sides have made significant time investment into the process.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, tell me about a challenging situation, tell me about your work experience
