Stryker
Manufacturing Engineer GDC/Matrix (Former Employee) – Alberta – 3 April 2019
Working is a great company as Stryker was a great experience for me under the Neurovascular division. A typical day at work was tough and I filled relief each day a we saved life everyday. Management style was OK as we had our daily team meeting and weekly reporting to senior management on our metrics.
Great team spirit across the team and other functions with one goal. The hardest part of the job was during external audits, however, we succeeded in all our external audits with no major findings. The most enjoyable part is when we get the good results/feedback from our customers. Traveling for work abroad was also interesting as we met and learnt different culture and people.

SENIOR STAFF ACCOUNTANT (Former Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 12 February 2019
During my employment with Stryker, I have learned alot which helped me to grow. I enjoyed my work, however at the time of my employment there was a high turn over and it was very hard to get make friends.
Great company amazing benefits
Surgical Instrument Repair Coordinator (Former Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 14 January 2019
Amazing company. Just expect to be pushed hard mentally to both achieve the concepts and excel at your contract. Help is needed if you desire but expect them to make your situation seem like a walk in the park. If you work hard, they will pay good. If you wimp out, don't expect much.

Installation technician (Current Employee) – Canada – 18 November 2018
Great company to work for with strong culture.
The ability to govern your own work is extremely important in order to meet customer demands and timelines.
Customer service aspect is the most important factor which determines the understanding bond between engineering aspect of the job and specific customer demands.

Growing Company with good salary/benefits but poor culture
employee (Former Employee) – Hamilton – 9 March 2018
Days are full of back to back meetings, which allows no time to actually execute on job requirements. No transparency of management, no useful feedback that can help you improve. Culture is aggressively competitive and highest marks are given to the most outspoken and self-promoting people.
Pros
Lots of future growth potential, moving into new facility, good pay and benefits
Cons
Long hours, lack of valuable feedback and transparency, competition instead of collaboration
nothing but high praise when i worked for stryker

Finance Department - Hamilton Office
Finance Manager (Former Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 14 March 2017
As a former finance department employee at Stryker, I can assure you that the finance department will keep you busy. Hours are long on month end due to unrealistic deadlines set by corporate office. The annual review process has a two strikes and your out approach, if in one year you receive a Developing rating-you get no bonus or raise, then the next if year you receive another Developing rating, there is no bonus or raise, and your put on a probation period, with basically one foot out the door. This approach is designed to ensure employees are pushing as hard as they can in their job. The finance department has historically been known as a sweat shop, and has had very high turnover in the past 5 years.
Don't be mislead by all the "best place to work" awards held by the Stryker office in Hamilton. All info is filtered by HR that gets released to the rating companys, so it's very misleading.
I've worked for a lot of companys, and unfortunately, Stryker is the only place I can say was a mistake in my career choices.
If your still uncertain about this job, speak with any independant job recruiter outside of Stryker, and they will validate the above.
On the positive side, if you can make it in Stryker, you can make it any where.

You work as a team in a dynamic environment.
DISTRIBUTION ASSOCIATE (Current Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 31 March 2016
Stryker is a company full of young people with University degrees. There is is the hospital like excellence work culture since it is a Medical supply company, but it is not as rigid as in an actual hospital. There are always team building activities, such as sports, dinner events, or almost constant meetings that keep you in the loop and part of the Stryker world.
Pros
Great work atmosphere
Cons
The application process is vigorous and long.
Stryker believes in its people.
Surgical Sales Coordinator - Orthopedics (Former Employee) – Dundas, Ontario – 8 July 2015
Best work environment I have had the privilege to work in for the past 16 years.
Hardest part of the job was the constant demands of critical needs of hospitals and the sales force, this was balanced by many Stryker fun days. ie: Employee appreciation week. baseball/golf days, spontaneous ice cream sunday afternoons. Birthday treats, the list is long.
Co-workers were all team mates, I believed to never let a team mate fail as did others. Any inside failures were transparent to the outside sales force and hospitals.
