I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
HR and Hiring manager were very professional and pleasant on the first two phone interviews. Hiring manager interview was mainly around my background and experience and going through work listed in my resume. HR was very behavioral interview, I felt that they were trying to get a feel of what type of a person I am. After that I was referred to a Gallup interview, 2 hours of personality questions, but it went by pretty fast. Then I was invited for an onsite interview. I met with a total of 14 people, they try to have as many people as possible see you to be able to give their feedback. Overall an excellent experience, and they move pretty fast too!!
Interview went as expected. You can search through google other peoples experiences and the company's approach in their interview process. Can be extremely long if you're not patient. Be prepared to share your experiences but that goes without saying.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Stryker in Oct 2020
Interview
Stryker HR and Their hiring teams don't have any other work to do rather than conducting the multiple rounds of unnecessary Interviews and wasting Candidates time.
HR is very unprofessional and I did not expect carelessness and passiveness from one of the best workplace awarded place. Their only job is to keep fixing the interviews until the process becomes totally boring and then will close the discussion without any conclusion and feedback.
Stryker Team wasted almost my 2.5 months of time in the interview process. Initial 2 interviews were in little sync but later interviews, specially with some senior HR person (seems to be some Psychiatrist) were totally absurd.
They themselves don't know what is their requirement or expectation for the Role and and they keep deviating on this in every discussion.
There was so much confusion on the Job role & CTC among HR and their hiring team that i totally lost my interest in the opportunity. Later, neither they came back to inform the updates nor i Checked with them.
Overall reflection of their Interview process to me was that Stryker India team's attitude is like they are the only employer in market and favouring the Candidates by shortlisting them.
I'm glad i didn't have to waste my precious time with them anymore and I'm disappointed as well with the experience and it damaged Stryker reputation in my mind.
