The interview was different than any other I have had. I was briefly asked to summarize my background but I wasn't asked any questions about it. Instead I was given a series of rapid fire personality questions. After this, the interviewer explained the job and benefits. Unfortunately, for the work that they are looking for project managers to perform they do not offer appropriate compensation so I ended up turning down the invitation for a second interview. They explained that they are looking for someone who takes their work home with them and is willing to work up to 70-75 hours a week. They also want the project manager to be willing to drive over a territory covering a few hundred miles in their personal car. They offer no compensation for work over 40 hours even though they expect far more.
Additionally, the job title is misleading. A project, by definition, is a one-time and temporary effort resulting in a unique product or service. Stryker's project managers travel around to different medical facilities overseeing the installation of their suite of medical devices. In this case, the development of the medical device suite would have been a project but the constant installation process falls under operations. A more appropriate title for this work would be installation operations coordinator rather than project manager.
