I applied online. I interviewed at Covidien (Shelton, CT) in Apr 2014
Interview
The interview process was very professional. Kind of intimidating with the four person panel of interviewers though. The most positive thing I got out of the experience is to know what to expect from larger corporations.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Covidien (Saint Louis, MO) in Dec 2011
Interview
I was contacted by HR for a phone interview. I spoke with the hiring manager for about an hour. I then waited almost a month to hear anything back. I was then brought in for an on site interview. I met with three different people of varying levels in the company. I was made an offer a week after my interview.
