Vantaggi
Stryker offers you the opportunity to take your career in any direction; If you have interest - and are capable of performing in the role - the job can be yours. Lots of benefits! Company really seems to care for its employees. When conditions are bad, Stryker has shut down the building to keep people from making the commute. On days they are open - and the weather is poor - they excuse absences for those who truly cannot make the trip to work. I believe this is pretty unique and it shows they really care about their employees well being.
Svantaggi
Lots of management - Sometimes it seems excessive. That being said, that is a "bottom-up" view and its possible that I just don't understand the full strategy. Pay is, generally, lower than industry average. Other benefits offset pay in most cases.
