I am still currently in the process of being interviewed for the role, but my first interview was with HR. It was very personality/behavior-based, in addition to a few of the typical "What interests you about the company/role?" and "tell me more about this area of your resume..." types of questions.
I had a few questions asked where I was asked to rate myself on a scale of 1-10 for a particular personality trait, and the rest were more open ended and I could choose to (or in some cases I was asked to) elaborate on a particular answer if I wanted.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
On a scale of 1-10, how competitive are you? How organized? How creative?
I applied online. I interviewed at Stryker in Jan 2025
Interview
Pretty standard interview processes: phone call with talent acquisition, Teams meeting with Hiring manager, Gallup assessment, followed by panel interview. I unfortunately did not get past the hiring manager stage. In fact, I ended up getting ghosted by both the hiring manager and the talent specialist. I had to reach out multiple times afterward to both of them in hopes of getting any sort of feedback and when I did it was the lackluster "we decided to move forward with candidates better aligned for the role" despite meeting or exceeding everything that was being asked for on the job description.
For a company that values Integrity, Accountability, People and Performance, to ghost your candidates and potential employees speaks more about the company and its culture when their actions don't match their words. If I had to rate this interaction I would have given it 2/5 mostly because the initial response was relatively quick
