Vantaggi
Some nice people in the company.
Svantaggi
Messianic charisma of the leadership (also very Narcissistic), that create a cult like work environment and employees are almost forced to or brainwashed to chant “We love Stryker”. Eventually, those that cannot be brainwashed, tend to leave the company or forced out of the company. If you want to get ahead in Stryker, don’t worry about academic or professional qualifications, get your self a book called “A guide to shameless brown nosing”. Managers are often very much like crazed dictators in a sense that they thrive on having their egos stroked and surround themselves with “yes men/women” who are duly rewarded. Which is a scary thought, when some of the people that end up on on top, have bare minimum qualifications, lack intellectual stimulation and zero innovative foresight. Pay is below market rate.
