Stryker has shown historically to be very open to any and all social issues. IMO the environment is great for all people of both genders. One needs to look no further than the sales force or board of directors to see how incredibly diverse and open the company is to people from all walks of life.
WTF??? the Stryker implant(former Osteonics/Homedica) sales force and mgt is 98%, maybe 99% white male and straight! at the national sales meeting the majority of women there are from the HR dept.!
Well with that said, even being statistically conservative, 5 - 7% of the above sales force is gay. Just pay attention to the news. A lot of athletes are finally coming out of the closet and athletes are, in general, the mirror-gazing, body-shaving types Stryker loves to hire. Of course, until your narrow-minded, meat-head manager finds out you aren't straight. Then you become a former employee of Stryker...
