Pros

- On-site cafeteria. - Campus and building are relatively new.

Cons

- Type-A, aggressive, cult-like atmosphere which is encouraged and rewarded. From the interview process through their everyday operations, this is the company culture. This type of 'group think' is severely detrimental to true ethics and an inclusive environment. - Throwing others under the bus in meetings whether they were present or not, encouraging public co-worker 'ratings' and rankings, and a strange environment that including ridiculing patients hurt by products. - Serious quality and ethical conflicts. When brought to the attention of several managers and supervisors, these concerns were treated as overblown. One such concern included a pregnant line worker inhaling lead solder fumes for 10 hours a day, every day, with no ventilation of any kind. (I put my resignation in the next day). - Weird insertions of religion into daily meetings and relationships. - Work-life balance was non-existent and salaries were not commensurate with experience, nor comparable to other companies.

Pros

I respect the company and what it does to help make drs lives easier with providing tools

Cons

Stryker was the worst place I ever worked. Upper management needs a lot of work. I watch the VP invite new employees in and treat them like a friend until a new person come in and then push the old one out. Never any security and you always have to watch your back. Sports Medicine could be great with a different management team.
