This company is terrible when it comes to the interview process. I applied online at their website. Received a call from a recruiter and she did a brief phone interview. It took 3 weeks before I heard back that someone would be setting up an in person interview. It then took another week for the "interview scheduler" to contact me. The day of the interview process I met with seven people. I was scheduled for 4 hours with no restroom break and never offered a beverage. Typical interview questions - "How do you handle multiple projects", "What do you believe you bring to this role", etc. Prior to meeting with anyone, I was told by the HR people that I was not allowed to follow up with any of the interviewers. So, after a week, I sent an email to the HR recruiter as to whether they had made a decision - dead silence - no response. Followed up again a week later and, again, dead silence. Dear Medtronic - Your public personna is immensely damaged by your talent acquisition team. Even for those of us you don't feel are a fit for the position, common courtesy would dictate that you respond to us with SOMETHING. We have given you a good amount of our valuable time to come in and interview - don't you think we deserve a little of your time to respond? Shame on you for being so thoughtless.

Several rounds. Just make sure to also send thank you notes to EVERYONE you meet with, and to whoever coordinated your interviews. Always mention something from the interview. Thank you notes are a big deal at Medtronic.
