Pros

The company continues to grow and innovate and invest in R&D

Cons

Truly a toxic work environment with no real care for ground level employees. Core values are nothing but slogans on the wall in the office. Ground level staff are micromanaged and manipulated. This is the reason the conduct Gallup testing prior to employment so they can control the masses. The company are aggressive as they come and will continue to grow but do not care at what expenses. They certainly don't care about the staff on a ground level and a large gap exists between management and workers. This is the highest staff turnover you can experience in the industry. When a complaint is made they claim there is no retaliation which isn't true at all. The HR processes aren't adequate and always favour the manager. Stryker work in a redundant fashion which creates a malaise over their employees and management + HR just don't care. I would avoid this company at all costs.

Pros

Direct leader was amazing. Working together efficiently and effectively.

Cons

After dedicating 8 years to Stryker, I was extremely disappointed to learn upon separation that only 40 hours of my accrued PTO would be paid out, despite having accumulated approximately 240 hours. What is most frustrating is that this was never clearly communicated during discussions with HR regarding my departure. Had I known this policy earlier, I could have made different decisions about using my earned time off. Employees invest years of service and should have complete transparency regarding how accrued benefits are handled upon separation. I am sharing this so current employees can educate themselves on the PTO payout policy before making career decisions, as this was an unexpected and costly surprise for me.
