Svantaggi
Some of the downsides to working at Stryker are that once you are in the door your wage begins to significantly drop below a competitive threshold and often is below industry standards. If you are promoted from within you will not obtain a wage that is competitive with other companies, rather you will get a minuscule, usually no more than a 5% increase in pay, no matter the movement. It is also common for women to not be promoted in favor of a man; the term 'boys club' is a widely known phenomenon within Stryker. Stryker voices that they advocate for minorities and have an inclusive workforce, however, their constant need to be inclusive ends up being exclusive to women.
