Pros

Great hands on experience, very friendly people and overall great atmosphere.

Cons

At Biomet it was quite simple: If you were part of the "Boys Club" you were taking care of, your career was secured and compensation was very attractive compared to everyone else. If you were not, you were compensated unfairly (way below industry average and this was well known within Biomet)

Business Outlook

Pros

Minimal job loss due to Zimmer-Biomet merger, so far.

Cons

Overall atmosphere is on the negative, downtrodden side. Change is good unless the change process and transition plan were not carefully thought out. Leveling due to merger based heavily on whether an employee was a legacy Zimmer or legacy Biomet employee. No clear transition plan provided for promotion. No clear training methods.

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid products and processes. Good overall company to work for. Benefits and compensation is good.

Cons

The overall culture is very poor currently. The two combined companies are having difficulty working together. The management team that has been put into place in the new company are not doing a good overall job. Time will tell if this improves. Zimmer's culture was very poor the past few years and the merger has not helped that situation.
