I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Covidien in Aug 2010
Interview
The hiring and interviewing process was long and drawn out but my recruiter kept me well informed every step of the way. I had 3 phone interviews and was brought in house for my final round of interviews. While in house or at the corporate offices in Connecticut I was interviewed by 4 different people and had one group interview, The team preforming the interviews were very professional, knowlegdable and did their best to make everyone feel very comfortable and at ease.
