Stryker reviews

Stryker is not the company is use to be. Riddled with management issues and a frat boy corporate culture, it doesn’t seem like they have ANY clue of whats going on. The obvious truth is they don’t care about their employees at all.

If you are detail-oriented or seek specialization you will be frustrated. Stryker is a chaotic environment where targets and people constantly move around. Expect to work long hours and provide constant progress updates. If you are anything other than type A you will feel out of place. Marketing-focused company. Executive pool comes from the sales force. As a consequence, engineering is a shadow organization that constantly re-invents how it does things. EE processes and "best practices" vary by project team and are driven by the most forceful personalities on the team. Lots of young engineers and just a few experienced "gurus." The lack of engineering infrastructure and significant experience results in over-specifying, over-constraining, over-designing, over-testing, and over-thinking everything in order to assure a quality product. In the end their products work, but not without huge costs to budget, timelines, and the mental health of those on the team.
