Pros

The team at this site is tremendous. The collaboration is impeccable and there is a clear understanding to accomplish a mission.

Cons

Site head operates on archaic times. Multiples forms of harassment in which HR and SR leadership continue to ignore. The collaboration between groups drive the site which somehow compensates for the lack of involvement from “site head”. Average age of employees is over 50 years of age and this is 100% not a place for a young person with family or someone wanting to grow in their career. Recruiters will sell high on what they think is a smooth operation, but its only a matter of time before the organization catches on to the terrible culture and work life balance that has been implemented from someone that is truly involved 1.5 hours per week ( huddle meetings Monday, Wednesday and Fridays). The turnover at this site is real and the site head continues to build cases to push employees out that pose a “threat”. Happened with numerous Supply Chain members and is currently happening in Engineering. This isn’t a place for someone to grow! FUTURE EMPLOYEES LOOKING TO JOIN ZIMMER—- I would connect with former employees on LinkedIn for the truth on how this site operates. Employees with tenures of 10+ years have been pushed out or have resigned due to the one that rules with an iron fist. Very condescending, rude and terrible leadership. Please do not join this site until the initials of MA are no longer “leading” the charge.

Pros

*Lots of flexibility, the ability to work remote *Good benefits and substantial PTO

Cons

*Company has not offered any career/department training opportunities in 5+ years due to budget cuts *Most of the work is being consulted out to India, taking the fun/creative aspects out of the job *Every department is understaffed; high turnover rates across multiple departments *The people who want to speak up/do the right thing are never offered advancement opportunities *If you aren't a "yes man" type person, you won't advance here. People who say "no" are either demoted or laid off at the end of the year. *A lot of people that are in their roles don't know them, even after being at the company multiple years, which can make for a frustrating work environment for those that do know what they're doing *Company preaches integrity/quality, but then rushes you to get things done. People are fed up and leaving.

Pros

Fellow co-workers are amazing people, that's about it.

Cons

More,more, more numbers, break your body to hit unrealistic targets that can't be hit without completely ignoring medical policies and quality procedures, but this is normal practice at Zimmer, and if you don't hit target you're made feel like crap and you're not good enough. Corrupt management, use bully tactics to get what they want, will target people they don't like and try to drive you out the door when you call them on their bulls&*t. No regard for employees wellbeing, big panic whenever there's a quality audit everything thrown under the carpet and try to direct auditers away from people that will tell the truth. Place is just a front, everything they say is all lies, all the slogans about family and quality is all lies, they cut corners and force operators to break procedures every single day.
