I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (Duisburg)
Interview
After the experience I was happy not to be selected. I didn´s have a good feeling from the process and how it was designed.
The application process is short and comprehensible. If you are selected, you get a call from local recruiter phone screening you.
Next stage is video interview with hiring managers - it is a usual mode of you talking about your experience and hiring team asking you questions.
If you are successful they proceed with you to the Gallup interview. This is being done by external agency. It is extremelly personal and unpredictable. You get no feedback at all, no matter you failed or you were successful. This interview is a delabreaker. It means that if you show some unwanted character pattern, you are not going to be hired. If you pass, you are going to be invited for personal interview to talk more in details about your experience and your skills.
All in all - the process is unpleasant and not really transparent. The recruiters are in general overloaded and have no time to provide you any feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the video interview: Tell me about you ambitions.
I received an invite for a phone screen, then a few days later received the thanks, but no thanks letter (seems a little backward to me) before I even had the screening. I emailed the recruiter because if they really didn't want to talk to me I didn't want to waste my time, and they canceled the phone screen, with no other communication.
Was submitted as an employee referral. Immediately I received an invite to talk to who I'm assuming was a recruiter. A few days later I received the thanks, but no thanks email. I emailed this person back and said should we still meet. She cancelled the meeting without a word. Not a great impression.

Interview
This internship interview process was more on the extensive side. It included a 30 (lasted about 40) minutes phone screen, an hour-long Gallup phone assessment and a final hour-long interview with the team.
Multiple times I had to reach out myself to get any sort of update on the process. If I didn’t reach out, I’m sure I would’ve been “ghosted” by the recruiter.
The third time I reached out, I finally got an update that I had not been selected for the internship. I followed up to ask if I could get feedback and never received a response.
