I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Medtronic
Interview
The process took about three months overall. I had a couple of informal discussions with members of the team (sales reps, clinical specialists, district manager, etc.) after officially applying. Then the company flew me out to the location of the job and final interviews were conducted there. After final interviews, they had me take one of their courses on Medtronic Academy, and then meet with their technical field engineer to go over the content in a casual kind of “quiz” format where they wanted to gauge how well you could absorb the content. I felt like I was kept well informed throughout the whole process. The interview process was lengthy but not necessarily difficult. It definitely pays off to let your personality shine through during this processes because they are very much interested in how well you will fit in with the team and they care about having employees with good character, as well as drive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know about the cardiac conduction system of the heart? What did you do to prepare for this interview? Tell me about a time you had to explain something very difficult to someone.
Probably the worst process any company has ever put me through. I had a recruiter screen, hiring manager screen, district manager screen, engineer screen, technical quiz which required over 30 hours of studying, and then a 45 minute long final presentation which took over a week of preparation only to be given a generic rejection telling me they went with someone else and would keep my information on file and refer me to their other positions as they open up. Never again will I let a company waste my time like Medtronic did and give me the absolute disrespect of a generic rejection after the amount of effort I put in. Six interviews has to be a joke and they were just testing if I was enough of a fool to keep showing up.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Medtronic (Utah, TN) in Mar 2026
Interview
Pretty straight forward just a super long process. Multiple phone calls and in person meet ups. Overall not very challenging though. Just took like 2 months to get an answer. Good experience overall though.
6 week process, started with recruiter screen, hiring manager zoom, then field ride with rep. I also networked with the current local CS team with phone calls. They encouraged me to do as many informational interviews as possible with the local team.
