Stryker Employer Reviews

Stryker was a fun place to work, it is very fast pace. I learned a lot about sales, training and the medical industry. Stryker is very team oriented. The hardest part about working at Stryker were the hours. The most enjoyable was the enviroment and people.

Responsible for selling capital and disposable equipment to hospitals and surgery centers

You are shipped all over your region with little to no notice. There are a few perks, but they keep cutting them out when they feel like it. There is no home/work balance whatsoever, just plan on being gone for a long time. The project managers are for the most part unorganized and have no idea what it takes in terms of time or materials to install – more... the equipment. – less

Had the opportunity to work at Stryker and I must say I feel they are one of the best companies around.

I have learned a lot about OR protocol, anatomy, and how to approach surgeons to sell them on my portfolio.

A very dynamic work place where you can learn a lot. The company gives a lot of opportunities to employees who are ambitious. I was able to lead several projects that added value to the organization.

Stryker corporation is an incredible company to work with. They treat their employees like Family and make a difference in many peoples lives. I wish I did not have to seek employment elsewhere. My situation is indeed a special case where I am unable to now report to an immediate family member and must seek employment elsewhere. The diversity, management – more... and environment are exquisite! – less

For a contract position this was a good place to work, Learned a about the medical equipment industry

I enjoyed every day that I spent as an intern at Stryker Orthopaedics. The program was designed well to integrate interns into the everyday activities that a full-time employee would undergo. These challenges helped develop my skills and have prepared me for my future career.

Learned the Healthcare industry. Learned Stryker products and taught OR staff how to use it.

the job just didnt last long enough, would love to do again, love the setting at stryker it is a very good place to work. its just a different world. its great.

Tremendous employer for energetic people to develop opportunities with surgeons and hospitals.

Clean room ISO 8 supervision of environment, engineering of packaging equipment. Purchasing of new equipment and Factory Acceptance Test.

HR Management is callous and bullies employees. Very little opportunity for advancement.

A typical day included delegating job responsibilities with my three other employees, ensuring surgeon and hospital staff satisfaction, communicating with sale representative and hospital management to ensure all duties were being performed to their satisfaction as well as any requests they may have needed/wanted. I learned how to handle various staffing – more... concerns as well as how to communicate more effectively with my co-workers. The most enjoyable part of my job was knowing that all our equipment functioned properly throughout the day as well as being as prepared for each surgical procedure. – less

This company is one that values their bottom dollar! Not the employee!! This company has had a rash of incompetent managers. They have had several law suits against them. They really do not look out for those who work the hardest, their employees!!!

Stryker is a great place to work at. The people are fun to be around and your always staying busy. You can move up in the company if you buckle down and show them you mean business.

People were nice, place was always stressed out. Management left something to be desired. At the time they wanted all type A personalities. Who knows at this point. It's been a while.

Costs a healthy family $600 a month in insurance minimum.
If you aren't part of the clique, you are nobody, unintelligence rules if you are at the top of the food chain, if you are at the bottom and have outstanding ideas it doesn't matter, (your boss takes credit anyway).
You have absolutely no job security, worry night and day about if they will cut – more... your job, they think this will advance your job performance even if you are giving 10,000%.
Management is ran by scare tactics and has absolutely no interest in upholding their star employees. I saved the company $256k in one year and never heard a word about it, not even in my reviews, because my boss was taking all the credit for all my work. Management allows bullying in the workforce, sees it first hand and does nothing to reprimand any employees who lie, backstab, stir the pot, engage in angry behaviors and hostility against other employees, it seems to be the way there.
There is no work life balance. It is work 50-80 hour weeks and next week they will ask you why you didn't get 1 thing done. Not compliment you on the hard work and dedication you gave and was away from your family for many years on end, but to chastise you like a child and get on to you for things left undone when they give you all their work and your work and everyone else's.
HR was a joke. They would look at you, listen, be apathetic, agree with you on how bad everything was, tell your their personal stories of how bad things are then pat you on your back out the door and never do anything about it. They seem to engage in the bullying behavior as well. Strange, because when I was hired they said they needed more smiling faces like mine, now I understand why. Everyone there is so angry, ugly, mean, manipulative, backstabbing, game playing, horrible, nasty, wretched people, submitting their yuck on everyone around them. It was the most horrible environment I ever been in, in my life.
They will give you awards when you start failing. It is the most non-sensical thing I ever seen in my life. When you are saving money, doing good, doing exactly what they ask, then they just make things harder as if they want to see how far they can push you before you fail. Then they give you an award to hang on your desk, but they will never speak of it in your yearly review.
I suggest they look into the Anti-Bullying laws that have been passed in 11 states to date. It would be a tremendous turn-around for their environment.
Seems like you can buy fortune 500 "Best Place to Work", because everyone I know there hates it and was trapped by bad economical times. People have bailed out since the economy is turning around like rats off a ship. – less

Management is accessible
Operations are fast pace
Facility has a gym and nutritionist

I also enjoyed this job. Daily routine was not set at this job. Help whereever was needed. In the afternoon was the normal of entering orders for that day.
