Medtronic info

Captain Slow IRL

Hi all,

I'm on the job hunt (graduate engineer) and was looking for any info on Medtronic that I could get - what type of products do they make in the Galway plant, etc.

Would anyone be able to help me out (pm if you don't want to post here)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Would you send them a email or ring them?
Maybe ask them your questions and casually mention your engineering background.

I don't know how much detail you need but I know they make the cardiac stents in Galway (and possibly other items too).

I've interviewed with Medtronic and completed the aptitude test.

I've been asked to provide copies of my degrees, contact details for my referees and also to come in for a medical on Monday.

I don't suppose anyone can tell me how many more steps there are before a job offer? I was under the impression that the interview with the management was held prior to the medical etc.?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but just seems a bit arse about elbow to do the medical first. Or does it mean that they're skipping straight to the job offer without meeting with management? (saying that, one of the initial interviewers could have been senior enough to fulfill this requirement)

Generally you only have one interview. The medical is the last hurdle.

Alan McG

Thanks. Lets hope I get all the questions right so!

I'm just after passing the interview stage, psychometric assessment is next - how did you find it Alan? Is it in a room full of people or you on your own?

Alan McG

PM sent.

Alan McG

Can you confirm that you got the PM please Captain Slow?

Nothing seems to be appearing in my sent messages folder...

Got it Alan!

Sorry but which level position is it for ? As dependent on the level you won't be meeting 'management' just a HR rep and maybe a production rep

Sorry only saw this now. It's for an R&D Engineer position.

I'd say that more than likely you'll only have the one interview but no harm in asking on an update if you want clarification in case you failed the medical

You will only have the one interview. If you are as far as the medical you can be pretty confident!

I was lucky enough to be offered a job, thanks to everyone for their advice and help.

Alan McG

Well done Captain Slow. When do you start?

It's a big place but you never know, I might see you around.

I'm currently looking online for accommodation in the area. Pickings certainly are slim!

Congrats Captain!

Captain Slow IRL

I take it you got in as well, Alan? I'd say we'll be in different buildings, 1 and 4 if I am not mistaken.

Alan McG

I certainly did. All a bit mysterious as to what exactly they'll be getting me to do, but sure I guess R&D is R&D!

Thankfully there's another lad starting at the same time as me which should make the transition easier.

Hey. I have the 90 minute assessment with them on Thursday for an intern r&d position and just wondering if you could give a few tips for preparing for it. Like what kind of questions come up etc. Any help would be great. thanks
