Technical but primary focus on working through the problem. Try to explain how you are trying to solve it rather than focussing on the answer. Gallup will test your personality fit
Long but HR representative is very supportive. 5 stages of interviews from HR to managers to tech interviews etc. The whole Stryker team is very respectful and responsive which is rare and they actually get back to you if you don’t get it.
There was an initial phone interview after the application which was quick and straight forward. Then followed by the Gallup test and then to the later stages. It appears they then hired internally as I was informed they "had filled the role"

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in the role after 5 years.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker in Jul 2025
Interview
Had a phone screening, then a 30min 1-on-1 with the hiring manager, completed the Gallup assessment, then had 4 30min 1-on1’s with individuals I would interface with. Didn’t end up getting the job in the end, but the company was very responsive and the process overall was pleasant and went smoothly.
