Infuriating Experience and Lack of Transparency Application I applied online, the process took 3 months. Interview The interview sequence involved: A phone interview with HR. A subsequent interview with the hiring manager. A Gallup personality test. A take-home assessment. A technical interview. The questions during these interviews were primarily based on the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) format and were quite direct. 1-    Rescheduling Without Notice: The hiring manager was late to the first interview, after I emailed them asking whether we would be able to interview as agreed, they said they rescheduled it and asked whether I hadn’t received an email. The fact I received the rescheduling email after I emailed them. It gave me the impression that they completely forgot about it and had to reschedule. 2-After the first interview with the hiring manager, a technical interview was scheduled. Just a couple of days before the interview, I got an email saying that they had to postpone the interview for 2 weeks. 3-In the first interview with the hiring manager, I was informed that the position is not in Ireland but in France (something the job listing did NOT mention). I told them that I require visa support for France but not for Ireland and they assured me it would not be a problem. After this I did the Gallup test, completed a take-home assessment wrote a report on it and did a 1-hour technical interview. 2 weeks after the interview (3 months into the process and 1.5 months after the first interview with HM) I was told that they can't support my work authorization. I invested considerable time and effort only to be played with. If I were to be told that someone else is a better fit I would not be nearly as upset at this outcome. Even though I stated clearly that I did not have the proper work permit, they lured me to waste 1.5 months of time and effort. This series of events not only led to a considerable waste of time and effort but also highlighted a significant disregard for clear and timely communication regarding essential job requirements. The experience was particularly disheartening as it seemed they were leading me on, despite knowing my visa constraints. I don’t think I could ever work for Stryker after this bitter experience.
