St. Jude Medical Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The process was mostly smooth. It started with a phone interview followed by an invitation for an onsite interview. The onsite interview was 2 hours long with three different people. The first two were senior engineers and the third was a senior manager. They were all very nice and easy to talk to. Overall I felt that the interview went well. Following the interview it took about three weeks before I heard back from them.

A recruiter from the company reached out on LinkedIn and I accepted the call the next day. We spoke briefly, and he asked if I was interested in the role. I said yes. He then sent me an email with a few questions about my past work, and I replied with short answers for each. He seemed satisfied and scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview itself was pretty straightforward. He asked more questions about my experience, how long I'd been in the medical device field, my reasons for seeking a new position at St. Jude, and what I found most difficult about my current job. I felt good about my responses and believed I answered everything well.

I had one-on-one interviews with 4 engineers (both software and hardware folks) and a project manager. Each interview lasted between 30 and 45 minutes, with some going a bit longer. They asked for specifics about things I've done that are on my resume. There were also some questions about hypothetical workplace and people situations. It was nice that none of the questions felt like 'gotchas,' and all the interviews felt positive.
