Pros

Individial contributers are nice enough

Cons

My time at Zimmer Biomet was marked by ongoing layoffs, weak management, and instability. Communication from leadership was vague and often misleading, leaving employees in a constant state of uncertainty. PMs provided almost no value leaving additonal work for devs. The company aggressively offshored roles previously held by experienced U.S. employees, with little planning or adequate knowledge transfer. Quality suffered, rework increased, and remaining staff were expected to pick up the slack. Short-term cost cutting clearly took priority over people, product quality, and long-term success. Morale was low, burnout was common, and accountability at the leadership level was lacking. The workplace culture was increasingly negative, unprofessional, and politicized. Open discussion of left-leaning political beliefs regularly occurred in professional settings.
