Location for some people! Some people like it here though. Keep in mind, Warsaw is the orthopaedic capital of the world.

Pros

Good corporate benefits and perks. Quarterly bonuses. Lots of OT for hourly employees. Casual dress code. Management shows appreciation with gift cards/free company swag.

Cons

Post-merger there were/are a lot of growing pains for Zimmer Biomet. Management chose to relocate to a smaller warehouse to save money, which quickly became overcrowded and cramped due to increased inventory and staff. Extremely low employee morale. Employees are overworked and generally miserable. Operations can barely keep up with the growing sales with increasingly limited inventory. Constant Product recalls and back-orders. All Operations employees work incredibly hard every day. Everyone (except for management) must be "on-call" 24/7 for 1 full week on a rotating basis (every 4-6 weeks). Your 'on-call' week will be mentally and physically draining as you will be required to work your typical day, stay (very) late every night and also come in multiple times over the weekend.

Pros

working here will give a foot in the door for the med device industry, that's it.

Cons

Don't ever relocate with them. I'm currently in a legal battle over a housing stipend that they are trying to claw back despite having been there for 15 months even though the repayment schedule ends at 12 months after the move. I now find it hilarious that one of their tenets is "do the right thing", especially when they try to sue their former employees. Also a very cheap company who pays well below average for an FDA regulated industry.
