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.

Pros

Fairly laid back work environment and everybody works together and halfway decent benefits.

Cons

Zimmer is sadly a very poor paying employer. Significantly underpays employee's compared to both it's direct competitors as well as current standard. In fact it actually pays its employee's wages that don't even put them into middle class, it puts them at them just barely over the poverty line. They don't care though and insist on ridiculous 3% raises which do nothing to help with the rising costs of living. If you try to say anything though you get told nothing can be done and they blame you indicating you specifically are to blame.
