Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement (especially post-merger) Rampant micro-management Unrealistic expectations from middle and upper management.leading to terrible work/life balance Integrity and common sense seem to be decreasing in prevalence as the "laid-back" Biomet culture takes hold Talent is leaving

Pros

Zimmer Biomet provides a number of great products for those that are looking for orthopedic surgical needs. I have seen many people that have had their lives made better due to surgery. Many of the operational blue collar type workers are hard at work providing what is needed for each surgery. There are good people out there in the regional levels of distributorships.

Cons

Over the past year, there has been an extremely messy merger of Zimmer and Biomet. The white collar decisions made were confusing at best. May of the corporate decisions were last minute and obviously not thought through from a top to bottom standpoint. I hope that this all works works out for the patients. For employees at the distributorships, they are the ones that are stuck with the mess of making sure the mess is rectified.

Pros

Some good quality people in the Manager and below levels. Adequate pay and comparable benefits. Wants to embrace change and recognizes changes are needed. Biomet has SAP and a SOPS planning team to actually invest in the inventory needed to run the business and has actually started to spend on the inventory a integrated sales force will need 6 months too late!

Cons

Rush and cram change without ensuring things are done right. Laying off key personnel with no regard to knowledge of tasks and a plan on how to effectively spread out the work loads. Change it now deal with affects later mentality. "Biomet Does it Better" so Zimmer sold out its employees jobs to Biomet for a slogan.
