Pros

If you get hired in as salary, this is an amazing place to work the managers will work with you and show empathy and understanding.

Cons

If you are hourly: You are Disposable Shifting goal posts Managers speak out of both sides of their mouth Diversity quota means hiring inept people to be your manager No ability to move up No personal development No growth in position Petty Tyrant managers If you are hourly, look for the door. You are a crab in a bucket, your manager is another crab, looking to pull you down into the bucket under them.

Pros

You have good contracts and the company name is recognized everywhere you go... not always for the better though.

Cons

Nobody is safe at Stryker. Their “win at all cost” mentality creates a hostile work environment that is hard to leave at home. If you’re good at your job and want to be promoted go somewhere else. They will keep you in your role because you are too profitable and promote the dumbest person on the team. Stryker is more about gaining contracts, buying competition, and dominating the industry than doing the right thing for patients and employees. How they win best places to work is beyond me. I would not work here for all the money in the world.

Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at Stryker are their recent implementations of paternity leave and extended maternity leave in the US.

Cons

Some of the downsides to working at Stryker are that once you are in the door your wage begins to significantly drop below a competitive threshold and often is below industry standards. If you are promoted from within you will not obtain a wage that is competitive with other companies, rather you will get a minuscule, usually no more than a 5% increase in pay, no matter the movement. It is also common for women to not be promoted in favor of a man; the term 'boys club' is a widely known phenomenon within Stryker. Stryker voices that they advocate for minorities and have an inclusive workforce, however, their constant need to be inclusive ends up being exclusive to women.
