Pros

Pay is ok, but not matched with competitors like S&N or Medtronic. They'll tell you it is, but it isn't. The 401k benefits are great, health insurance is ok. There are some great teams and people there.

Cons

The career opportunities are terrible. Any ask for promotion is met with vague answers. They have a goal and career growth system, but no one truly uses it. They restructure multiple times a year and cut headcount at least once a year when they realize they aren't hitting numbers.

Pros

You can get away with any behavior or language you choose to use; no repercussions at all.

Cons

Zimmer Biomet will work you into the ground and then still request more of your time. Driver usually work 10 - 12+ hours a day. You are also expected to be on-call once a month from Monday to Sunday. That means you get to work your weekend away, work overnight and early AM. You get to work 12 days straight with no break. They very rarely give raises or promotions. This company would rather hire a new person at a lower rate then to keep an employee and actually pay them. Work-life balance is non-existent. You will ultimately spend most of your time at work. You get 15 day PTO and sick time combined. You can request for time off but if you get paid for those days is another question. This company cares about profit over people. They make billions a year in profit but "doesn't have the money" to treat their employees well.
