Current Employee – been working at Stryker full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The company goes on and above other companies to make it's people feel like a family. The free to use gyms that are open to any employee are available 24/7 and are located at every site. The job is so fulfilling from the people that we help to working with friends.

Cons – Focus can get lost at times as to the large picture of the company with the production, however it is only in the want to get products to the doctors faster.

Advice to Senior Management – Think about expanding/modifying the parking lot. (2013) Growing so much that we can barely contain everyone.

Or offer a reward system to promote car pooling. If we cannot increase capacity, decrease the need.

Former Employee – worked at Stryker full-time for more than a year

Pros – 1. Good work life balance
2. Migrates to latest version of products faster than other companies.
3. You can learn if you are in right project. If you are in the wrong one you future is doomed.
4. Like all other companies here every thing depends on your manager
5. You can even get double promotion if your manager wishes it.
6. Justification for denial of promotion could sound childish like you had once for gotten to update your effort in TFS.
7. But if you can impress by work or otherwise nothing matters.
8. Very good ambiance to work in.
9. Lunch is good and free.
10. Employees recruited like 1 year back are mostly good technically.
11. You get an AMEX card as soon as you join. You do not have to depend on your personal card or Forex card solely for foreign trips and expenditure.
12. Company sponsored parties are great.
13. No one stops you from taking leaves for long duration as long as its reasonable.

Cons – 1. First and foremost no cabs, they think everyone owns four-wheeler.
2. Recently its has become mandatory to spend 42.5 hours every week.Else you and your supervisor may get a mail but so leave deduction etc.
3. Not much scope of changing projects
4. Appraisal process is adhoc. Lot of effort has been done by HR to introduce a systematic appraisal process but at the end of the day its still ends up being adhoc and employees voices are not much heard (but you still have a say, may be very little but you have a say)
5. There has been a degradation of resource pool. Recently quite a lot of people had to be recruited so interview quality was downgraded.
6. Onsite opportunities has all but dried up.
7. You may end up having an US manager who has lesser work ex than you.
8. Salary, Position and experience not explicitly linked.If you think you need more just ask for it during interview show a few offer-letters and you may just get it . But you may end up wasting your technical experience if you not end up in a proper project
9. People are quitting the company for the above reasons.
10. People recruited can end up getting better designation or salary even if you recruit them by taking interview and they are lesser work ex.
11. Hindi is the language of communication in most cases, so much so that some times people start speaking Hindi in meetings .
12. Very bad company for freahers.

Advice to Senior Management – Please stop wasting talented people and making them do menial work. Then when these resources loose their edge you would not have to look for resources to supplement them.

Try to me more responsive to all employee's need.

Stop talking about gallup, just for the sake of talking about it. If you wish to use it, use it judiciously.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Stryker

Pros – Work Life Balance can be maintained
Good Policies made by stryker
Neat and clean offices

Cons – Bad quality of work
Full of gossipmongers
if you don't have setting with your boss, you are gone
Pathetic way of yearly performance reviews
Good Policies but not followed

Advice to Senior Management – Need some FIRING and Hiring in middle management

Current Employee – been working at Stryker full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – The people at Stryker are talented, driven, responsible, team focused and supportive. I've had exceptional managers / leaders that have helped me to drive my career forward. There is a focus on individuals' strengths and unique talents when aligning to career goals. If you are driven and willing to put in the effort you can achieve great heights in your career.

Cons – It can be tough to find work life integration / balance, without it you can burn out. For some it can be difficult to "break" in; to be successful in the culture you have to build a trusting network of relationships, without strong relationships it may appear performance is at times under-valued. Advice: build a team of supporters, have lots of fans, and identify your mentors early on.
