Pros

In the 9 years I have nothing good to say about the company. No pros to working here

Cons

This company is corrupt, unethical and represents everything that is wrong with the corporate world. They claim to be a company and helps to improve people's lives with there overpriced medical equipment (you should see what they charge for just a basic screw) They avoid paying their fair share corporation tax and import tax (using what ever scam they can, to not pay) Some of the things I saw disgusted me, out right theft of the NHS money. I saw deals that had been made with hospital to stock more products than they could ever use (not illegal, but definitely unethical. Stryker knew this was to much stock, but only cares about the money) And if you where to question anything (like I did) you will soon find yourself dismissed If you care about your country and your health services, DO NOT WORK FOR STRYKER Also - Inexperienced and unprofessional management - Managers are bullys - Spend millions and fancy buildings, trade shows and advertising. But can't provide there staff with correct training and safty equipment - Inadequate database and software - Staff in operations are paid low, so they are forced to do overtime to earn a liveable wage - High turn over of staff - HR department is a joke My advice is do not even consider working for them, unless your happy making deals with the devil P.S. Don't believe all there hype like there awards for Top 100 best company to work for. (This award is only for company's who pay to enter) If you do work end up working there save everything, emails, letters and make sure every time you are asked to do something get a conformation email from your manager and save it. Unfortunately this is a must when working their (most employees at Stryker do this to protect them selves)

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
