Pros

- The brand name carries global recognition, which can look good on a CV. - Exposure to the medical devices sector and interaction with hospitals and healthcare stakeholders. - Some teams outside the region maintain high professional standards.

Cons

- Leadership culture in the Dubai office is inconsistent with Stryker’s global values. Decision‑making often lacks transparency, fairness, and professionalism. - Internal politics overshadow performance. Advancement and recognition seem driven more by personal alliances than merit. - Communication is poor and often unclear. Expectations shift frequently without proper guidance or support. - Employee well‑being is not prioritized. High pressure, limited support, and a reactive rather than strategic approach to challenges. - Onboarding and development are weak. New employees receive minimal structure, making it difficult to integrate or succeed. - Feedback culture is ineffective. Concerns raised by employees are often dismissed or not acted upon.

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
