I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Medtronic (Ann Arbor, MI) in Jan 2013
Interview
As mediocre as it gets. All the typical questions one would expect. Questions were structured 50% technical and 50% personality. The interviewer was looking for self confidence. The HR was easy to work with. I was able to know the outcome of the interview within 2 weeks.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Medtronic (Minneapolis, MN)
Interview
Skype interview with developer on team followed by onsite involving 3 rounds of interview. After the interview I received an email 2 days later saying the team really liked my skills and wanted to bring me on board. 2 weeks later I get a call from the recruiter saying they want to bring me onboard but are still sorting out a few internal moves. Almost a month later 1 reveive an email from the recruiter saying they are looking for someone with a slightly different skillset and decided to go with another candidate. This is the most ridiculous interview process I have ever been through at a company and cannot imagine actually working for such employers!
