Pros

The departments that are rewarded are development, research and HR. These department leaders know they have the support of the higher ups and can command the raises and promotions. If you're able to answer questions by being evasive and by using double talk; they'll like you at Zimmer.

Cons

Latest buzz word is innovation. The word is an oxymoron at Zimmer. If you don't conform, you're not going anywhere. Delaying hiring decisions and passing on the extra work to whose left is what they practice because the leaders think there's an unlimited supply of dolts who are dying to work for Zimmer.

Pros

There are lots of good fellow employees. My peers are friendly and fun to work with. Middle level management is caring and supportive. The benefits are very good, especially health care. This is a stable prfitable company and the medical industry is relatively immune to economic downturns.

Cons

They try to get by without hiring enough people and pushing you to work lots of overtime. The company has spent millions literally on hordes of consultants and prefers to outsource much of their work. They have not been able to attract competitive talent. Upper managemnet can be somewhat rigid and inflexible, but at the very top level they are trying to encourage inovation.

Pros

I enjoyed the location of Biomet, the Co-Workers within the building, and the pay I received was comparable. It was a nice place to work in general. My direct supervisor was very understanding with various personal issues I had that may/may not have intruded upon my work. I appreciated that.

Cons

Hours were long sometimes, early in the morning, sometimes I was working at 2a at a hospital for a salesman who was making all the money with the commissions. Upon that, higher management was a little arrogant sometimes, but other than that- not too much. As I have said, it was a nice place to work.
