I had a great experience in my interview with Continuous Glucose Monitoring team at Northridge-CA. I had multiple 1:1 interview sessions and a presentation. The interview team provided a friendly and calm atmosphere for my interview. Hiring manger and team provided enough information about the position and my responsibilty in the team.

Question 1
Security boot, Cellular communication, network, JAVA and C++
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic (Denver, CO) in Mar 2023
Interview
Screening call with HR, talk with engineers, take home coding test, talk with Director, wait for HR.
The interview process was fine, and I liked the people just fine, but this was for a remote position (1.5 hrs away), and the larger parent company implemented a back to office policy and never allowed HR to extend me an offer.
I felt like I wasted a good bit of time.
Also, the coding test was meant to be 2-4 hours, but could easily be more. I spent 4-6 hours on it to make a good impression. Felt a little burned by this. Would not recommend going the extra mile for a coding test.

Interview
Submitted resume and had screening call with recruiter. Recruiter followed up a few days after that manager was looking for a different skillset and they would not be proceeding. I felt the screening was very transparent (discussed salary range and benefits - no games). I am glad that they gave me a prompt and honest response.
