Business outlook
Pros
Stryker offers good salaries, 401k with an 11% match, up to $15k/year in educational benefits, and in Mahwah there's an excellent cafeteria and gym. Company uses Gallup test to hire top employees, and the upper management generally makes good decisions and is honest. Employees are frequently promoted, and in most departments work-life balance is decent.
Cons
Middle management is sub-par, and job security is lacking. Despite top employees, getting work completed can be challenging because many managers lack people skills and have conflicting agendas, and departments often operate in silos. Layoffs and firings are common, and I've seen good employees fired for political reasons. Staying here long-term is tough.
