Applied through the company website but was contacted by a recruiter. About a thirty minute phone interview with hiring manager. Then flew out for face-to-face with hiring manager and a few regulatory directors and managers. It took about a day and went to lunch with people on the team. Received an offer a few days later.

Question 1
Questions were pretty standard and nothing stood out as unexpected.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Medtronic
Interview
Initial communication was via phone with the man responcible for the region. After that came the first of four interviews with. The last was with the country ceo in which we agreed about the terms and salary.
Big con was the fact that they were more intersted about the character of the candidate, than the experience in the same or similar work field

Question 1
Difficult in a way that has an easy answer but you have to be pretty sure before you give one.
"Are you willing to give 120% to the company?"
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic in Jul 2014
Interview
Applied via the Medtronic career section. It was about 2 weeks before I got a email from a recruiter. We scheduled a phone interview a few days later. The questions were behavioral type questions as well as questions regarding my past employment history, lasted about 45 min. The S.T.A.R method is a good thing to know and use during all interviews. After the initial phone interview with the recruiter, the following week had another phone interview with a senior manager, this interview was shorter, more to the point. Again behavioral questions answered using the star method.
A week or so later I was invited to interview onsite. I was flown over to the facility, given a rental car and a hotel. I had 4 sets of interviews each lasting about 30-45 min each with 2 interviewers per interview. Many behavioral questions, delved much more into past employment history and outside activities. All in all a long day but they interviews were not too hard, just stick to the star method.
