For a Houston position. About a week between each response from HR. Phone screen, personality assessment, face-to-face interview. HR had set questions and it seemed like they went down a list. Very nice but also aloof and initially did not exude much friendliness but after the personality assessment they were much more outgoing.

Question 1
This isn't a question per se but regarding desire to move up in the company I was surprised. Typically companies want people who are willing to be with them for a long time and want to move up (showing commitment and drive, etc), but apparently the Houston ProCare Specialist team has had issues with quick turnover. Because of this I was not offered a position because they didn't feel that I would be challenged enough in the Houston environment. This might not be the case every time they hire, but in this instance they wanted someone with a worker bee mentality that is happy to remain in the same position for life.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (New York, NY) in Dec 2017
Interview
They seem okay interview was pretty long didn't get a good vibe from the HR lady from the first time we spoke on the phone,. It seemed like she has something else bothering her so I felt like I already lost this fight
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Stryker
Interview
You must network. I interviewed with SYK rep first, he passed my resume to regional supervisor. Rep introduced me to hospital OR Director. Then came short phone interview with SYK recruiter. Then regional supervisor phone interview. Then Gallup.

Question 1
Would you rather do the job yourself or show someone else how to do it?
Be able to explain in detail past challenges, how you overcame, how you made it successful.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (Columbus, OH)
Interview
First had your typical brief phone interview. Then I was selected for a face to face interview with 3 members of the company. I got there and instantly was told one of the team would not be showing up and that another had a phone call to take in 10 minutes. The two asked me a few questions. For instance, where do I see myself in five years? I hinted at how I'd hopefully work hard and be successful and make my way to a sales rep position. The one member seemed slightly offended by this. He made it clear that they wanted this position to be filled for at least 2 years. He then sat in the back of the room on the phone the rest of the time. The other guy seemed to lack experience and I knew I didn't have a chance since I was only able to represent my skills and personality to only 1 of 3 members. The next process would have been a personality test but my process was ended.
