Pros

- Laid back environment - New hires will get fair base pay - Each position is very specific in their role, so you won't have to do ten people's jobs on your own - The products we make change people's lives for the better - I truly enjoy the work I do

Cons

- Underlying discourse post-merger - Major difference in pay between legacy Zimmer and legacy Biomet team members doing the same job with the same experience - Low caps on annual merit increases and promotion merit increases - You would earn more financially by getting hired externally into a higher position than you would taking a promotion internally (i.e. going from Sr level to Principal level) - Lots of lay-offs and people quitting creates a lot of unrest - Slow moving through the extra amount of red tape post-merger - Not enough consistency on the technical/design side

Pros

Some good people, pay is decent

Cons

Leadership is more concerned about politics, checking the box and fake culture and avoids true performance of site, how the people are treated, or the long term impact their decisions make.
