Started with a recruiter chat, then an initial call with the clinical manager. After that, I spoke with the team and then did a field ride. Next was an interview with the district manager and clinical manager, followed by a technical interview. However, Medtronic had a hiring freeze, so I haven't heard back from the manager about scheduling the technical interview.

This was a 6-week interview process. It kicked off with a recruiter screening call, followed by a hiring manager Zoom meeting. After that, I did a field ride-along with a sales representative. I also made it a point to connect with the current local Clinical Specialist (CS) team via phone calls. They actually suggested I do as many informational interviews as I could with the local team.

Behavioral Technical
The people I met with were very nice. The whole team was there, but it was a relaxed atmosphere. They asked good questions about my prior experience and skill sets. Nothing was really tricky or unexpected. They stuck to the basics, and even though it was a group of 4 in the interview, it didn’t feel like a firing squad.
