Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Stryker
Entrevista
The interview was different than any other I have had. I was briefly asked to summarize my background but I wasn't asked any questions about it. Instead I was given a series of rapid fire personality questions. After this, the interviewer explained the job and benefits. Unfortunately, for the work that they are looking for project managers to perform they do not offer appropriate compensation so I ended up turning down the invitation for a second interview. They explained that they are looking for someone who takes their work home with them and is willing to work up to 70-75 hours a week. They also want the project manager to be willing to drive over a territory covering a few hundred miles in their personal car. They offer no compensation for work over 40 hours even though they expect far more.
Additionally, the job title is misleading. A project, by definition, is a one-time and temporary effort resulting in a unique product or service. Stryker's project managers travel around to different medical facilities overseeing the installation of their suite of medical devices. In this case, the development of the medical device suite would have been a project but the constant installation process falls under operations. A more appropriate title for this work would be installation operations coordinator rather than project manager.
Interview in an informal setting - followed by an invitation to apply for a specific role and completing the gallop personality assessment tool.
The Gallop is a major criteria for stryker and you will be cut from the hiring process if you do not fit the mold they're looking for.
After talking to the recruiter and the hiring manager - both conversations went very smoothly, not challenging, hiring manager very friendly - I got ghosted. Waiting for 2 weeks and then receiving an automatic rejection email, the one being sent to anyone who sends CV and gets rejected. No feedback, nothing. Never again.
HR recruiter didn't bother to read my resume for the screening call - assumed I had experience with the same product/market and started off with a question unrelated to what was on my resume. Also they use the US HR headquarters to interview Canadian candidates so they won't bother to screen you properly based on your local experience. Waste of my time and reflects poorly on a large company that can't hire a senior HR recruiter to do their one and only job to review a resume.
