Application
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic (San Luis Obispo, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
All STAR questions, interviewer even said it was just STAR questions. Over pretty quickly, and the interviewer was pretty quiet, just taking notes on his packet of questions. I didn't love the style of the interview, it felt almost robotic, but it worked out.
They recruited through my school, and then reached out to me through Handshake. I had a phone behavioral interview with a recent college graduate who was a full time employee.

Interview
I went to a career fair, handed in my resume, chatted with them a little and was offered an interview with them within about a week. It was mainly behavioral questions and stuff about my resume/experience and how the company worked. I'm now preparing for my second interview with Medtronic.
