Medtronic interview questions

Really fast process and less steps comparing to the other corporations. People seemed very nice and the atmosphere was rather casual. They called back with the feedback quite promply. In general a very positive experience.

Really very poor interview technique from Medtronic. They were about 5 to 10 minutes late, and one of the interview panel didn't turn up until after the interview had started. I think somebody's phone may have rang as well. The room was a fairly small room, they (3 people) sat one side of a table and I sat with my back to a wall a couple of feet away on the other side. I couldn't have sat at the table as it would have been just a bit too up close and personal. It was clear that they hadn't read my CV and when they discovered that I didn't have a particular experience (which I hadn't claimed to have) they lost all interest. Interview was very one sided. They'd ask a question. I'd answer and then they'd move on to the next question. Absolutely no interaction or questioning which gave a distinct impression that they were only going through the motions. The lead interviewer checked his watch about 3 or 4 times during the interview which only lasted about 30 minutes. Gave me the feeling that he wanted to be somewhere else. For a company which claims to value it's employees it was really poor. I've interviewed around a 100 people in the last 18 months and I've never conducted myself like that in an interview.
