Pros

401K is excellent Clean work environment Stable Company Pretty women are everywhere especially at corporate

Cons

9 years with 8 different managers and 7 different supervisors while in the same department. Signed bids to get out of the department got negative feedback on reviews for it Fools excel while skilled intelligent people get slighted Can't be a supervisor unless your head only shakes yes all day, regardless of how bad management's decisions are. Temps get abused. They should tell them that If you're not a "temp to hire" then you are a "temp to fire", no matter what they teach you, once your area is caught up, be it 3 months or a year, you will be let go.They tend to lead temps on and let them think they have a chance to get hired in. Like to fire people around Christmas every year. That's just heartless and wrong. Very inconsistent in many ways Like Charlie Darwin said..."Working for a system built to fail" Back stabbing like I have never seen in my life Employees call the place "bizarro world" should have known when I started that was a bad sign. Go to meetings where people get kudos for reworking errors on overtime and double time that they screwed up on straight time. Every new manager has to implement the next big thing that will save the company so that the next manager can do away with that and start their own company saving process. No one can interpret the FDA guidelines so they pay some other company to do it for them then make internal regs that make it almost impossible to do any work.

Pros

Medical device used to pay well

Cons

Horrible culture with lazy management. Stryker is well known for "using and abusing" reps. High turnover rate. Lack of inventory resulting in loss of sales, opportunities, and commissions. Management has made no attempts to fix these issues and they are still ongoing problems that occur day to day.

Pros

Stryker is a very successful company who will acquire various technologies (companies) to broaden their company scope. Their 401K is very good as is their bonus. Their benefits are in line with most companies of their stature.

Cons

Stryker is a ruthless heartless company. They are famous for restructuring their organization and as a result misplacing users in positions that do not meet their skills. Ultimately the end result in many cases is an employee forced to leave Stryker. Beware! They are ruthless!. Very discouraging. In 25 years of employment mostly in one company, I have never been treated so unfair! Shame on your Stryker! Their HR department is useless, they are zero support for employees.
