I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (Kalamazoo, MI) in Feb 2012
Interview
The internal recruiter that I worked with at this company was terrible. They would not respond to e-mails at all. I had a phone interview and was told that I would hear something within a week. When 2 weeks went by, I sent an e-mail, and no response. After another week, I sent another another e-mail and this time, the next day, I got the standardized letter e-mailed to me saying we have decided to more forward with other more qualified candidates.
Interview process was fine, first was with a talent person via phone call. It went well and they were pretty nice. Relataively long interview process in general though which you have to prepare for.
Had an excellent first interview with HR. Was told I was moving to next level. Recruiter was very complimentary and excited to connect with hiring manager to book the next interview. Then crickets. Received an email 3-4 weeks later from a generic mailbox indicating they were looking at different candidates.
Three phone interviews then a Zoom. No follow up after the zoom. Process was lengthy (about 40 days) and never heard back even after several follow up emails. Phone calls were repetitive.
