Stryker reviews

I truly do not understand how this company keeps getting awards on how great it is to work here. First, the culture is incredibly cutthroat and nonsupportive to any situation. It's almost like no one in HQ/brand/management truly wants to help out so it creates that kill or be killed environment from the very beginning... but almost painfully so. I mean there was once a meeting about how to not be screwed over by your stryker counterparts during cross-divisional deals. I mean that should tell you something. You don't get a company car or really any expenses paid all while territories keep being cut. I feel like they keep banking on reps staying around for the sake of having the Stryker name on their resume. Don't get me started on the lack of diversity and boys club environment. There is so much more to add, but essentially one of the worst companies I have ever worked for.

Salaries are low-balled and at the bottom of industry standards. They have don’t have an employee development plan in place. Managers conduct an annual performance review, and make vague suggestions for improvement beyond current position. Very few opportunities for upward movement which creates a company culture that’s founded on self-preservation, even if means stepping on others to gain notoriety. Some divisions of Stryker also appear to possess a cult-like culture, where activities that do not support or directly influence project or company objectives are passively perceived in a negative light. Personal endeavors or issues are met with a face of initial concern, but are handled with a lack of empathy and a firm reminder of duties as an employee. Very friendly dispositions, but you can never be certain of actual intentions making it a very stressful environment to work in at times.
