I was contacted by a recruiter to schedule an interview about a week after submitting my application. An hour before the scheduled time, she asked to reschedule. During the rescheduled interview, I was placed on hold just a few minutes in so she could take a call from internal personnel. When she returned, she asked me a question but interrupted me mid-response, even though she had requested a detailed explanation. The entire conversation felt rushed, as if my time wasn’t valued. Overall, the experience came across as disorganized and unprofessional. Based on this interaction, I would not recommend this company.

Contacted by Stryker recruiter (cold call, they found me). Had an intro call with the recruiter. Had an intro call with the hiring manager. Went through their Gallup interview. Had another interview with the HM. Had an interview with the Senior Director of HR. Had an interview with a couple of VPs. At this point the process has taken about 2 months. Heard nothing for a few weeks. Followed up with the recruiter. Heard nothing. Followed up again. Recruiter said they were still talking to candidates but I was very much in the running. Heard nothing. Followed up 3 more times with the recruiter. Heard nothing. Followed up with Sr Director of HR. No response. Sometime in the last month or so my application was switched to “inactive” on the Stryker website. All in all, a pretty disappointing process for a company that told me how they were all about personal responsibility, accountability, and getting results.
