I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stryker (Phoenix, AZ) in Mar 2013
Interview
Initially I had an HR phone screen, then a phone interview with the hiring manager, then the phone based Gallup personality test, then an in person meeting with the hiring manager. The HR contact was very good, responsive, helpful, etc but it has been one month with no contact on the status of my application.
