I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Stryker (Cork)
Interview
Stryker made contact with me, oraganised a phone interview, of which I had to ring to remind them. It was a quick process, this was to schedule a face to face interview with an on site with two engineers and a HR rep (general overview of career and some off the cuff questions). On the way home they rang to be put through to the Gallup interview (Personality test), I passed that and a day later I was organised to meet them in cork again with a HR associate, this final interview was similar to the first face to face interview, almost to ensure that I was a good fit (a second opinion if you will) from which I got a phonecall two days later to complete a medical. I passed the medical and was offered the job 5 days later. Although, not the role I applied for but a graduate role as I didn’t have the experience of a Senior Engineer, none the less Stryker said they seen me as a talent and decided to open up a position. The HR reps were extremely professional and quick to help with any questions regarding the role and the interview process as a whole was unusually enjoyable.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Is it important to keep internal customers happy, just as you would external customers?
You can’t cheat an interview with Stryker , put in some hours studying the company, their products, processes, surgery types, materials .. look at the job spec. Regardless of what job it is, it’s about the work your willing to put in to get the job.
Interview is okay. Friendly. Just ask basic questions. 2 rounds. Each interview an hour long. First round was good. Second round was okay too but 2 with 2 people from US team. Be prepared for a lot of behavioral/ start up pitch sort of questions.
After the two rounds, they ghost you. They do not respond even when asked for an update/ nor sends a rejection email. Very unprofessional.
