Stryker reviews

Inconsistent schedule, lots of driving

Leaders from different divisions have been dropped into leadership roles they have no clue about, resulting in deleterious impacts to customers and business moral. Of note, Knee Leadership was brought in from a sister division and has decimated a once thriving business group - moral is terrible, employees are scared, and turnover is at an all-time high. Great talent from across Stryker has departed because of this poor leadership. I would stay far, far away from the Knee team. Stryker typically pays lower than comparable industries, even though they try to spin it that the bonus and 401(k) and benefits make up for that - untrue - all companies offer similar perks. Too much red tape - Stryker is too big and slow now, which is why they are a what the CEO terms "a serial acquirer." That's what large companies do when they're too big to innovate internally. Trying to get new products out the door is a huge challenge now due to all of the bureaucracy, red tape, and sign offs needed by every leader.
