Pros

Cost for healthcare is only mildly high (~$5k/year family premium), awesome 11% total 401k contribution (50% match on the first 8% plus 7% annual discretionary contribution), generally a very friendly environment with good resources provided.

Cons

Raises have been less than inflation for the last 3 years. Everyone is a part of the inclusion drive except for white men, but that's the way of the world now. It'd be nice if they'd at least throw us a bone like some of my prior employers by creating a "volunteering" ERG or something to that effect -- anything that we could join to meet their DEI goals, which are a big deal here. As it is, I feel very marginalized at the corporate level, although the local management is great.

Pros

They have great benefits. Looks good on a resume.

Cons

They will promote based off of looks/popularity rather than performance and experience. Non inclusive of anything other than white males. “Good ol boys club” culture to the max. If you aren’t apart of it or don’t know someone who is, good luck trying to grow within the company. Terrible ethics in leadership with “leaders” who have no idea what they are doing or how to lead.

Pros

Good health benefits Senior leadership seems sincere Good mission

Cons

Stryker uses Gallup for hiring which means everyone within the organization are all the same personality types. You can outsmart Gallup (which I did) but I don't recommend it. You will feel like you're on a different planet. There is a definite Stryker type - Type A, work is life, overly confident sense of self. (Having a "best friend" at work is a big priority of management - per the MANY surveys they ask you to fill out annually.) If you don't fit within the super outgoing who don't believe in strict boundaries between work & life, you are overlooked and your accomplishments are downplayed. Opportunities stem from personal relationships (which is true for many orgs) but is championed at lower levels of the organization. This creates an atmospher of mid managers managing up and out not down...leaving individual contributors to fend for themselves. Lack of diversity is a huge problem. Coporate leadership says they are working on it, but it's not translating into a diverse new hire group. DE&I is led by a white woman.
