Pros

CEO, pay, benefits, high performers, culture.

Cons

The company has potential, but middle management lacks the people skills and leadership needed to help employees grow. Career advancement feels inconsistent and heavily dependent on favoritism, with certain teams receiving frequent promotions while others are overlooked. Although there is a job profile structure in place, it isn’t followed consistently. Experience and knowledge often take a backseat to younger, more zealous employees, which creates frustration for those who have been loyal and proven their value

Pros

Direct leader was amazing. Working together efficiently and effectively.

Cons

After dedicating 8 years to Stryker, I was extremely disappointed to learn upon separation that only 40 hours of my accrued PTO would be paid out, despite having accumulated approximately 240 hours. What is most frustrating is that this was never clearly communicated during discussions with HR regarding my departure. Had I known this policy earlier, I could have made different decisions about using my earned time off. Employees invest years of service and should have complete transparency regarding how accrued benefits are handled upon separation. I am sharing this so current employees can educate themselves on the PTO payout policy before making career decisions, as this was an unexpected and costly surprise for me.
