I applied through other source. I interviewed at Stryker
Interview
Process is still ongoing. So far process has been awesome and painless. Met with all members of sales team and hiring manager. We met for lunch/coffee . It has been about 5 interviews so far but none of them seemed like actual interviews. Moreso, we were meeting up to see if we got along and I'd be a good fit on the sales team. They were very up front that Stryker is such a large company and the hiring process tends to be long and drawn out. I have to take my Gallup interview over the phone this week. Hoping I pass that to keep moving along in this process.
They really stress candidates having the competitive drive and desire to grind during a 70-80 hour work week. The ability to multitask and troubleshoot (work through problems and find an answer when things don't go as planned) is huge. They stress that OR schedules with surgeons are constantly changing so the day to day schedule is constantly changing. Candidates need to be flexible and adapt with that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in this role? What motivates you? Name a time a situation did not go at all as planned, how did you troubleshoot it/work through it to be successful?
Just had my phone interview, I think it went well. Basic questions why medical device sales why Stryker etc. and some behavioral questions. going to the next step now, so far so good
I applied online. I interviewed at Stryker (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2026
Interview
Interview was conducted remotely from a representative outside of the country. While I understand the company is a large corporate entity, the Interview process felt impersonal and like the role itself was not particularly important

Question 1
Please give an example of one time you worked as a member of a team to solve a problem.
I was emailed to interview for a position in my city. I spent 2 days preparing and took time off from my current position only to get a call from the recruiter that the position i was interviewing for was filled already. They wanted to know if i was interested in relocating cities. I found the lack of communication to be very strange. A simple email would've been productive as i was super excited about the opportunity to even get the interview! Disappointing!
