There was a series of three interviews with Medtronic and the recruiter. Usually Medtronic do not use recruiters as they have their own internal HR department. There was a series of three interviews, the first with a recruiter and the second two with Medtroic. The first with the sales manager and the third with senior (department head) management. The process was stock standard however the people were extremely relaxed and quite hilarious actually (unfortunately these people have since left).

Had an in-person interview with the hiring manager, then a virtual panel interview. It was clear from the very beginning that they had someone in mind for the role, and even asked me how I would handle getting the role over someone internally who was also interviewing for the role, and how I'd make working with them go smoothly. I'm a professional, but this was the worst interview I've ever had. Multiple gotcha questions, and any time I answered a question with my experience, they downplayed my experience saying that this was a hard sales job, as if I'm not already currently selling medical devices in an equally if not more difficult market. Also the guy asking these questions wasn't even the boss, he was a fellow Territory Manager. The whole thing was bogus.
