      Principal Scientist Interview

      May 28, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Medtronic

      Interview

      It was a long process, spanning over 6 weeks. Each individual meeting was typically with 1-2 scientists or engineers from the department/group. Most of the questions were behavioral, with STAR responses, which was very straightforward

      Principal Scientist Interview

      Jul 31, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Moundsview, MN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Medtronic (Moundsview, MN) in Apr 2010

      Interview

      tough interview process. Had to give a presentation, plus meet one on one with many of the people that I would be potentially working with. Everyone is very nice (like most Minnesotans), but it is a company with a lot of smart people so they don;t make it easy on you.
