I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (San Jose, CA)
Interview
First had a phone interview with an HR rep. They asked 10-15 questions about my work style and personality. Next I had another phone interview with the manager of the team I applied for. They went over my resume and asked about projects I had worked on. I then did the Gallup interview. It took about 40 minutes. Lots of questions like, "would you consider yourself _____? Give me an example of a time you showed this quality,,,"
I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Stryker (Kalamazoo, MI) in Jun 2016
Interview
There are several steps involved if they are interested in you and what you have to offer to the company. Unlike many companies I've encountered, Stryker invests a lot of time, effort, and funding getting to know YOU. You will likely learn things about yourself you never knew before the process.

I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker
Interview
I approached Stryker through a University career event, and within the day they called me to set up a short phone interview, which was really simple, and within the day they called me back to set up an on-campus recruiting interview. I passed that - it was behavioral mainly, and very easy. The interviewers were really nice people.
Next, came the Gallup interview, which was very straightforward, but a lot of rapid-fire questions. The interviewer was very rude - she would cut me off mid-sentence when i would give examples. She'd cut me off with phrases like 'ok, that's enough', 'we don't need an example', etc. It was an irritating experience.

Question 1
I absolutely hate "rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 on how ______ you are". Annoying, arbitrary questions, but you know, they don't care about the rating - they care about how you support yourself with examples.
