10 years of uncertainty.

Pros

Zimmer pays well in relationship to the job responsibilities compared to other companies.

Cons

There is no discernible support for indirect staff. Upper management is absent. Leadership is non-existent. HR policies are based on the legal mnimum being the standard. They do not go beyond to benefit or attract talent.

Pros

The company will pay you well.

Cons

Warsaw is not a good place to live and to develop careers. You might have encountered unexpected things really frustrating here, water contaminated with copper, limited social activities, limited service resources, etc. An old 1 bedroom apartment suite with ugly appliance cost you $700+. Property management is without professionalism. Landlady is rude and unreasonable, yelling a lot and did not know how to draft an email with formal English. I agree with someone mentioned previously, "one of the most culturally toxic place to work". The mid-senior management team seems not stable. I don't not see the company maintains its value, or maybe this company does not have its own value. People working with me focus only on minutia but ignore vision and strategy. If you seem to be more ambitious or maintain a refined life style or just look different from them, they will play politics and make your life difficult. Oh they don't have training at all, and they expect you to bring your previous experiences into. However if your way is different from theirs, they will try to push you out.

Challenging environment

Pros

Zimmer offers decent pay and benefits. Vacation time and holidays are more generous than my previous employer. If you work at TMT you get even more holidays than the Warsaw based employees.

Cons

A lot of turnover makes the environment challenging, since a lot of true knowledge has been lost. The GE style management which requires 3 scenarios for every situation despite limited resources is also frustrating.
