Pros

- Work hard - play hard culture. - Pay for performance. - Lots of opportunities for professionals to stretch themselves and grow. - Plenty of autonomy and responsibility early in your career . . . if you prove yourself. - The chance to work on products that have a significant positive impact on society. - Awesome people!

Cons

- This is an environment for A players who want to better their game. Anyone who doesn't have that intensity gets run over (this is only a con for sub-A players). - Stryker's talent management tools for hiring and development, while extremely effective, are intimidating to the uninitiated. - Interviewing and hiring process can be daunting and long. - Compensation is only industry average, even for high performers.

Pros

-Overall high level of talent that you work with -Massive Economies of Scale -Healthy bonus related to healthy company performance

Cons

- Poor Work/Life Balance - HR really only works for Director's and up, and enables their behavior regardless of alignment with company values. Just there to protect the shield - Upstream Marketing has little to know upward growth or trajectory even with years of high ratings on reviews. Must carry the bag to grow career at Stryker.
