Pros

Clean, quiet, bright manufacturing environment.

Cons

If you’re looking to the med industry as a “do no harm” career, keep looking. Whether medical costs are through the roof or if the US Gov completes Gov-run healthcare, the industry still profits immensely. This is good for Stryker, but very bad for patients and tax payers. Pay isn’t great, so the boost in business won’t offset the boost in your med bills. Spend months chasing the tiniest, insignificant problems that have no effect on the product or patient. Get asked daily to hourly by very high-stress people for updates on it. Hope you like Bernie Sanders, because the CEO is going to berate you on it at every annual United Way event (on which he sits as a board member). You can make more money elsewhere with a lot less stress. Don’t have a family. Everyone there who does would have their kids in Public Boarding School if it were an option because they’d rather be working. No one will say anything negative to your face, you’ll just find out later why your job has become so much more difficult. Very, very, VERY politically corrrect environment. They should post ahead of time: “Republicans need not apply.”

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
