Pros

1. Large company with the ability to move around to a lot of different positions 2. Very dedicated workforce that is committed and hard working - it is great to work with people like this 3. Excellent 401k (4%) / profit sharing (7%) 4. Pays for a lot of training to improve their employees 5. Prior to the recession, company was very generous in terms of finance to keep employees engaged. They paid for quarterly team off-site activities (white water rafting, wine tasting, et...), team happy hours, generous tuition reimbursement, quite a bit of travel to domestic and international vendors with very little attention paid to expenses (within reason), not taking vacation hours when you take time off 6. Yearly goals tied to a bonus (typical yearly amounts in the $2-$5k range)

Cons

1. Quick turnover or transition to different position creating lack of consistency. This makes it difficult to really make improvements in any position because by the time you are ready to make significant changes you are moving on to the next position and job. 2. Management acts like they want honest feedback from employees, but really only want to hear positive feedback. No significant changes come out of yearly engagement studies 3. Tend to promote bubbly "yes" people, not the most qualified 4. You will be worked quite hard with a lot expected of you. Their recruiting process does a tremendous job bringing in great talent, but there is always the pressure to perform. 5. No flexible work schedules despite the fact that most of the office has laptops and could work remotely if allowed. 6. General feeling within the company is that we are underpaid, but benefits help make up for it

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.
