Pros

The name recognition is great, but the culture just didn't seem to be there. The company didn't really bother to get to know the new employees it inherited with the purchase of the company I was with, even though a good deal of us were top performers.

Cons

Seems like the Stryker sales reps have a horrible pay structure (commission only, no expenses paid, extremely high quotas) by what some told me. A few, who had made big sales even, were barely making ends meet still. Overall, the sale force seemed to suffer from a real lack of vision from upper management and low morale.

Pros

-Overall high level of talent that you work with -Massive Economies of Scale -Healthy bonus related to healthy company performance

Cons

- Poor Work/Life Balance - HR really only works for Director's and up, and enables their behavior regardless of alignment with company values. Just there to protect the shield - Upstream Marketing has little to know upward growth or trajectory even with years of high ratings on reviews. Must carry the bag to grow career at Stryker.
