I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Medtronic (Boulder, CO) in Dec 2017
Interview
Was reached out to by a recruiter and had an informal screen with her. Then had an interview with the hiring manager. From there I was invited the site in Boulder where I had 8 1:1 interviews. It was a very long day, but a positive experience. Well organized and nice people. Most of the questions were behavioral (tell me a time when..) and others were around my past experience and how it relates to the position I applied for. There were so many interviews because this position works with many different functions and stakeholders so it was important for Medtronic to know it was a good fit for both parties.

How have you navigated cross-functional collaboration in a matrixed organization?
El proceso fue rápido, era una posición junior en la que no se pedia apenas experiencia. Todo fue rápido y sencillo, no tengo ninguna queja. El entrevistador fue muy cercano en todo momento, nada agresivo.
