Pros
Stryker offers very competitive financial benefits including a 401K match of 50% on the dollar up to 8% for a total 4% match. By contributing 8% you’re automatically saving 12% of your salary annually. In addition, for the past 15 years Stryker has also contributed and additional discretionary contribution of 7% on top of the match for a total of 19% your annual salary saved into your 401k. On top of that they offer a great HSA health plan as well as a FSA for dependent care costs you can contribute $10k into annually using pre-tax dollars. Aside from the great benefits I enjoy a great work/life balance, free LinkedIn learning, great professional development programs and an extraordinary pool of talented high performance professionals.
Cons
Often there is a corporate grind from time to time. No corporation this size is perfect. Stryker does try to regularly improve itself and the culture.
