What do you like about working at Stryker?
"Dynamic workplace, clean workplace, high energy people, professional opportunities, access to customers, R&D opportunities, hands-on, CAD/GDT training, excellent mentors."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"This company uses a screening/rpofiling test on all candidates. If you don't pass this test, you won't get an interview, so take it seriously. They look for a 50% score on all the metrics, so don't try to fool the test and score 100% on all of it. Be yourself. It's like a Meyers-Briggs profiling tool executed by the Gallop Polling group. Don't expect big salaries... they low-ball offers. But, annual increases for good performance are above average, expect 6% per year if you do excellent work. 401K matching is tied to passing 20% bottom line growth per year - when you meet this goal, matching can ecced 200% of what you put in. My last year there, I put in about $6000, and they put in $15000! You need to be fully vested to get it, but if you stay more than 5 years, your do really well. Performance is key to surviving ther - it's a bit of a meat grinder and if you can't handle pressure, you should go elsewhere. If you thrive in a high pressure, high energy, dynamic workplace, this is one of the best places there is to grow your skills set and your career."
What don't you like about working at Stryker?
"Jr level associate managers weren't qualified - made mistakes and transfered blaim to others. Director of regulatory/HR could have used an ethics course - was a real back-biting back-stabber. Tolerated unprofessoinal behavior - what ever it takes to get the job done approach was o.k. with upper management."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Use more qualified senior managers to run projects. When a jr manager can't handle their job, move them out fast! Build a less hostile steamroller culture... behaviors matter!"
