I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (New York, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
very long process, contacted by the director of hr, and the first interview was very easy and short, classic questions, the second one was with the manager of the position, strong and enjoying. after that, the Gallup interview, very strong and difficult... a lot of questions, very stressing. i think that this type of interview made of a lot of questions by a person who didn't speak very well english for me are terrible
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
your weakness, your point of force, are you a team leader
Interview in an informal setting - followed by an invitation to apply for a specific role and completing the gallop personality assessment tool.
The Gallop is a major criteria for stryker and you will be cut from the hiring process if you do not fit the mold they're looking for.
After talking to the recruiter and the hiring manager - both conversations went very smoothly, not challenging, hiring manager very friendly - I got ghosted. Waiting for 2 weeks and then receiving an automatic rejection email, the one being sent to anyone who sends CV and gets rejected. No feedback, nothing. Never again.
HR recruiter didn't bother to read my resume for the screening call - assumed I had experience with the same product/market and started off with a question unrelated to what was on my resume. Also they use the US HR headquarters to interview Canadian candidates so they won't bother to screen you properly based on your local experience. Waste of my time and reflects poorly on a large company that can't hire a senior HR recruiter to do their one and only job to review a resume.
