I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (Milwaukee, WI) in Aug 2015
Interview
Through a friend of mine, I was able to contact the regional manager vis email. From there I had a phone conversation with him. I assume it was just to get a feel for who I was as a person. He then gave me the contact information for the local Sales Representative in my area. I reached out to this person and set up an in person meeting the following week. Overall, the interview was not very difficult. Most of it is the interviewer telling you all the perils of the job to make sure you are okay with all of them.

I applied online. I interviewed at Stryker (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2026
Interview
Interview was conducted remotely from a representative outside of the country. While I understand the company is a large corporate entity, the Interview process felt impersonal and like the role itself was not particularly important

Question 1
Please give an example of one time you worked as a member of a team to solve a problem.
I was emailed to interview for a position in my city. I spent 2 days preparing and took time off from my current position only to get a call from the recruiter that the position i was interviewing for was filled already. They wanted to know if i was interested in relocating cities. I found the lack of communication to be very strange. A simple email would've been productive as i was super excited about the opportunity to even get the interview! Disappointing!
