Pros

There is none at the moment.

Cons

Senior management in Singapore office is biased, show favouritism, and often does not walk the talk. There's no leadership in the Singapore (local) office; evidently the recent head (less than 2 years of his appointment) has been replaced due to non performance although retirement announcement is just an excuse. Too many reorganisation in 2013. HR is extremely weak and they can't do anything to make a difference in the office morale. Employee turn over is too high as most employees are new, and for those who are there more than 3 years are often the head of office-politics. The annual employee feedback on the company and management performance are just for 'show' and often more meetings with employees just before survey is launched, in order to obtain high scores from employees.

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.
