I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2009
Interview
Applied online and was provided with an online Gallup evaluation/personality test after entering my education, field of study, and other information. I received an email the next day from a recruiter to schedule a phone interview, which was similar to the online Gallup evaluation (i.e. lengthy and redundant). I was contacted again by the same recruiter to set up a time to talk to a Gallup representative. The Gallup interview was also very lengthy and vague. I was then contacted by another recruiter from another division.
Advice to the recruiters: don't waste job seekers' time on the phone and have them go through several Gallup tests (which are very redundant) and rather have them come to the office for an in-person interview after the initial phone interview, especially if they are local!
I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (Minneola, FL) in Mar 2026
Interview
simple it went pretty smooth. They just asked basic questions to get a gist of what you’re talking about and just about who you are. Stay alert and stay focus.
There are four stages of interviews. First is with HR, second is with hiring manager, third takes place with a third party company that gives you a personality test and last is an on site interview
Straightforward interview process, asking about my background in validation, process engineering and more. No trick questions. Need to be able to sell your background as a fit for the role and the company
