Pros

The compensation is fantastic, but there is a reason for that.

Cons

* Lack of personnel (Neglect to open enough positions to reasonably fill a team) * Layoffs (when short staffed already the company laid of substantially more) * Managers/Directors who do not understand the process in which they dictate. * Terrible computer systems. Nothing is automated or straightforward. Countless systems to be used with little to no training. The systems require human intervention at every painstaking step which are broken down into numerous steps for no logical reason. 20+ year old legacy systems had better automation/notification systems. * All training is done via self learn modules online that a child could pass without paying attention. Standard operating procedures are vague and useless in almost every scenario. * Abuse complaints (about managers) are swept under the rug by HR due to "not enough formal complaints" (witnessed the manager abuse multiple employees myself)

Pros

Work environment is nice, with a cafeteria and gym. Decent benefits. You’ll probably get an nice laptop to help you work from home. I liked/disliked that my team would go out for dinner and drinks throughout the month. Do you ever get the feeling that you just want some time away from your coworkers, dinner can get repetitive.

Cons

There is an intense cult feeling at this place. A lot of awful employees work here, but do very well navigating the corporate culture, therefore they get promoted. Being a senior financial analyst seems like a temporary holding place for employees. No one really wants to be a Sr Financial Analyst, it’s just a stepping stone to get into a position elsewhere in the company. Your manager may know less about your job than you, so there’s not much support. Training is non existent, so learn how to kiss up to your overwhelmed coworkers or be good at faking it until you make it.

Pros

Stryker is a good company for starting your career. The majority of employees are in their 20s and 30s. You will gain exposure to how a large manufacturing company works and experience in many different areas of engineering. Salary is average, benefits are good.

Cons

They do not value long-term employees. Once you have been there too long and start making too much money, you are let go. I have seen it happen to many valuable employees. They are constantly reorganizing/restructuring, which also diminishes job security. Promotions vary greatly by department. You will either move up quickly, or never move up. Senior leadership is poor. Middle management is not given much decision making authority.
