Interview
You will be put through several interviews, including a lengthy personality test. Everyone here seems very arrogant and makes you feel as if you are lucky they are even taking the time to speak with you. On top of that you will be asked to interview at very specific times with not much flexibility.
I went through several rounds, burned up several hours of my PTO with my current company just to take these interviews and was ghosted after 4 rounds.
I understand that I wasn't the right fit, but I spent hours prepping, taking the time to have these interviews, and they couldn't at the very least follow up with a rejection email. That in itself is a red flag for a company.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Stryker
Interview
Interviewed with the territory manager first, which I dont think is typical. The territory manager really tried to intimidate me by pushing how hard they need someone to work for this position, im in a medical sales role currently so it sounded condescending and made me not want to work for him. Questions he asked were average, nothing crazy.

Gallup - 30 minute rapid fire interview. I don’t mind Gallup but believe it’s odd that they can’t provide feedback or clarification on questions they ask.
