Hello Guys,
I recently had an initial conversation with Medtronic’s recruitment team on 7 August for a Senior Manager – Healthcare Consulting role. The recruiter later emailed me saying my application was still under consideration but that there would be a short delay because the hiring manager was out of office. She is returning on 2 September.
It has now been a few weeks since my call, and I haven’t received further updates or next steps. For those who’ve interviewed with Medtronic (especially for consulting/healthcare senior roles), how long did the process take between the initial HR conversation and the next stage (case interview or hiring manager interview)?
- Is it normal for Medtronic to take 3–4+ weeks before scheduling the next step?
- Does “under consideration” generally mean they are keeping you in the shortlist, or is it more of a placeholder until they finalize stronger candidates?
- Any insights on how their recruitment timelines compare to consulting firms (e.g., Big 4, strategy boutiques)?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
