I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic (Tampa, FL) in Mar 2018
Interview
Had a contact there who connected me to a local District Service Manager who had an open position. They paid for a hotel stay since it was 4+ hours away, had a 45 minute interview the next morning. Very intimidation-based, i.e. this is harder than anything you've ever done. When I tried to relate it back to personal experiences, I was told " you have no idea what you're talking about, and this will be the hardest thing you will ever do." They were referring to the one year of training, even though I have an engineering background and demonstrated I was up for the challenge. Overall they didn't learn very much about me, and it was the only round of interviews they used to choose a candidate. Very disappointing, everyone else I have met there has been great.

Question 1
Can you tell me about a time you dealt with an irate client or coworker?
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.
