Pros

Stryker is a fast growing company where those who are driven can thrive. Great culture that cares about eachother and our customer. Employees are generally happy people and are always on board to support the community we live in. There is a great 401K matching and discretionary plan along with many other benefits offered. There are also lots of opportunity for training, team development and employee events. I have visited many suppliers where culture and respect for employees and their engagement are lacking so I can truly appreciate what we have here. There is also a current shift to encourage better balance in work and homelife coming from the top down.

Cons

Lots of changes for us in the past couple of years with leadership, structure and processes which causes confusion and uncertainty in the workforce. although in the past, it's normal to average 1-2 mgrs a year, I am now on my 5th mgr in 18 month period while I have been in the same position. It is hard to get process improvements through with so many layers to go through and projects go on hold or lost in the way waiting for these changes to settle and process through all of the layers - this is hard on folks who are driven. We also need to invest in updating some of our technology that is outdated.

Pros

Great learning center, pressure cooker but if you can make it here, you will be set. If you going into sales or marketing, you have an upward career mobility (look at the management, they are mainly sales and marketing). R&D, good luck.

Cons

Every strategy looks on paper but very poor execution. Cross divisional collaboration and synergy, management does not realize in absence of a process, cross divisional collaboration does not work (different P/L and goals). You can hope and pray but if there is no process or management intervention, IT WILL NEVER WORK, your employees will be greatly be frustrated and think it is a joke. Career pathing for others than Sales and Marketing is non existence, they have many tools and claims to have but if your not in Sales & Marketing, you are toast.
