Business Outlook
Pros
Stryker is a good company for starting your career. The majority of employees are in their 20s and 30s. You will gain exposure to how a large manufacturing company works and experience in many different areas of engineering. Salary is average, benefits are good.
Cons
They do not value long-term employees. Once you have been there too long and start making too much money, you are let go. I have seen it happen to many valuable employees. They are constantly reorganizing/restructuring, which also diminishes job security. Promotions vary greatly by department. You will either move up quickly, or never move up. Senior leadership is poor. Middle management is not given much decision making authority.
