Pros
Great Work Culture. Work-Life balance is best I've ever experienced. We have a lot of fun at work, but get a lot done! Everyone I work with is highly driven and motivated to accomplish minute-to-minute, day-to-day, week-to-week, and month-to-month goals. I have never felt more supported by and protected by management than at Stryker. I find everyone is very respectful and professional. Gossip is almost non-existent and is dealt with immediately when it crops up. Everyone is very smart and talented at what they do. Small wins occur and are celebrated like they were big wins more often than anywhere I've been. Big wins are a blow out party! Stryker rewards with great bonuses and extras weeks of days! Its just a great company! I cant say enough good about it!
Cons
These can be pros or cons depending on how you look at them: Highly motivated and competitive culture. If you don't feel like you can work hard towards difficult goals, it can be a struggle to perform. People can seem stuck-up. Stryker is filled with strong personalities. Stryker has a high accountability culture. So you are held to what you say you will do. You must perform! It can feel a little "crack-the whip" style of work. Not for the predominately passive and agreeable personality. Plan on going to work everyday ready to fight, compete and negotiate your positions and decisions.
