I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker in Jan 2012
Interview
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.
I received an invite for a phone screen, then a few days later received the thanks, but no thanks letter (seems a little backward to me) before I even had the screening. I emailed the recruiter because if they really didn't want to talk to me I didn't want to waste my time, and they canceled the phone screen, with no other communication.
Was submitted as an employee referral. Immediately I received an invite to talk to who I'm assuming was a recruiter. A few days later I received the thanks, but no thanks email. I emailed this person back and said should we still meet. She cancelled the meeting without a word. Not a great impression.
I applied online. I interviewed at Stryker in Oct 2022
Interview
This internship interview process was more on the extensive side. It included a 30 (lasted about 40) minutes phone screen, an hour-long Gallup phone assessment and a final hour-long interview with the team.
Multiple times I had to reach out myself to get any sort of update on the process. If I didn’t reach out, I’m sure I would’ve been “ghosted” by the recruiter.
The third time I reached out, I finally got an update that I had not been selected for the internship. I followed up to ask if I could get feedback and never received a response.
