Pros

Stryker is a focused growth firm that is helping to improve quality of life for patients worldwide. Stryker values employee development and has evolved formal processes for acting on employee feedback.

Cons

The company is maturing systems to catch up with organic and acquisition growth. Must be able to navigate in situations where there is not always an established process. The upside of the firm being at this stage of development is that there are many opportunities for self-starters.

Pros

Good salary. Flexible hours. Great culture and a youth setting which was excellent

Cons

A lot of hours. You have to create your own pipeline. The technology isn't up to par with some of the other companies.

Pros

Most employees are highly motivated since interview process uses Gallup profiling to assess ambition. Company makes amazing products. Pay is good for entry-level employees, and benefits are excellent (e.g., 3 weeks vacation in your first year, on-site fitness center). There is opportunity for rapid promotion if you are good at your job. Company has a very youthful culture and there are no divisions between employees and managers - often people sit in same cubicle area and eat lunch with their manager.

Cons

Some people may not like Stryker culture. I like it but most professional employees are under age 35, and look like they came out of a J. Crew or Manolo Blahnik commercial. Also, Stryker is a classic Peter Principle organization. If you want your career to advance, you have to become a manager rather than a specialized employee. Not surprisingly, many managers are nice to their employees but lack people skills. To make it worse, managers may have 15 or more direct reports, and may have employees at multiple locations.
