Interviewed Jun 2010 in Flower Mound, TX (took a day)
I arrived at the building for my interview only to be told they changed the location to a different building. After walking around the outside for quite some time an associate helped my find where the interview was being held. He had to ask the receptionist. I finally get to the place and two other people were in the waiting area. I sat for over a half an hour before anyone came out to see if I arrived. The two other people and myself were escorted to a conference room with over 25 other candidates. Apparently the interview process had been going on for an hour. We were asked questions about ourselves and why we want to work for Stryker. This was the worse interview I had ever been on. I for one do not like speaking in front of a large group. Being on an interview you are nervous to begin with and then having to speak in front of an audience was very disconcerting. The job description did not give any indication of speaking in front of an audience. After this process was done we turned in our resumes and were excused. I will never, ever apply for a job at this company again.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
actually Gallup was not that professional based on my experience. They called about one hour earlier than the scheduled time and the interviewer obviously has no idea she got the time wrong.
When they called to arrange the interview, the person told me the interviewer will be a "he" from HK, but actually the call was from a girl in Beijing. They said it's going to last 70 minutes, but the girl can't wait to finish as soon as it reaches 45 minutes...agree that she's reading texts and was not that focused.
I scored high in "self-motivation" and "commitment", but very low in contribution in a team-set, which was a shock to me because I won many awards in recognition of my contribution at work over my whole career history, both internally and externally.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 3 weeks)
I met Stryker at a career fair on my campus. The next day they called me and wanted to do an in-person interview. They only had one time slot open that would not work with my schedule so they said that someone would call me later about a phone interview.
I had a phone interview with HR for about 30 minutes. She told me that she would contact hiring managers and see if there would be a place for me in the company.
About 2 weeks from the initial career fair I get an email back from HR saying that they want to move me on in the process to the Gallup interview. The Gallup interview was about 45 minutes long from an outside company that judges your answers to determine if your personality would be a fit for the company. The entire interview you can hear your interviewer typing away.
I got a call back from HR later that week saying that I didn't pass the Gallup interview.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Portland, OR (took 6 months)
Much easier if you have a referral within the company as this company has stringent criteria. They are definitely looking for type A personalites who come from a team-oriented environment and are extremely competitive. past athletic achievements and academic achievements will go a long way in helping you assimulate into their culture.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 3 weeks)
Once you are identified as a candidate you will be set up to take a phone interview from Gallop that will take 1 to 1.5 hours. This interview is a barrage of questions meant to rate characteristics in order to derive your personality type with the desirable characteristics being a driver type personality. If you don't fit you most likely will never be contacted again.
The one area I disagree with this interview is that the questions are not always in context and the interviewer will not give you additional detail. For example, they are going to ask you how loyal you are on a scale of 1-5. Loyalty is an attribute of an amiable characteristic and giving yourself a high score will not do you good. Being loyal can also give others an influence edge. However, when I responded about loyalty I meant in a sense that I am loyal to the company and making good business decisions and not loyalties based on any individual or other product/company.
If you want to do well then look up driver type characteristics (self confident, organizing, persuasive, forceful, quick to act, risk taking) and don't overrate yourself on people oriented characteristics (trusting, loyal, helpful, understanding, idealistic) or analytical characteristics (analytical, cautious, thorough). This is a little counter intuitive to standard interviewing were most want to make sure you're a fit with others along with the right skill set.
Interview Questions
how trusting are you on a scale of 1-5
how do you make a decision
are there examples in which a person will not change their mind
what is a team

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Flower Mound, TX (took 3 weeks)
First interview was just a quick phone screening to determine whether or not I met their basic requirements. This interview was less than 20 minutes and very easy.
Sample question-Tell me a bit about yourself.
Second interview was more in depth with a larger amount of "tell me about a time when..." questions. Took approximately 40 minutes.
Step 3- Gallup personality test. Hardest of the 4 steps. This was an hour of rapid fire questions that ranged from "tell me a time when.." where you had a chance to explain to "on a scale from 1-10" questions with no logical order.
Last portion of my experience was a third phone interview with a hiring manager. This was a more in depth version of the second step. I never heard back after this step.
