Pros
Stryker was a wonderful place to work. My managers ensured that I was well trained and experienced throughout my career over there. It contributed to my success in my subsequent roles. The teams that I was on were full of really talented, FUN people. Overall, really fantastic coworkers turned friends and mentors that I still rely on!!
Cons
They went through a lag in recognizing tenured employees in terms of pay (i.e. those fully vested). This resulted in an exodus of talented folks leaving between end of 2020 and mid-2022. I've heard rumors that this was later remedied, but the remaining tenured staff had/have increased responsibilities as a result of the turnover and training lag for new hires. Keep in mind that some tenured employees returned, so that should demonstrate how the company is uniquely great in terms of culture and extra benefits. Also, the turnover is pronounced at the leadership level, so it is unclear what results many senior leaders produced and often times new leaders from other divisions feel "fluffy" and "not substantial". The individual contributors are the ones carrying the business...
