Pros

Zimmer cares about the people they hire. Benefits are outstanding, pay is among the very best, environment is open and honest. This company truly cares about the products they build and the people that will ultimately benefit from them. The culture is that if you are going to put something into another human being, it will be done right! Zimmer encourages employees to further their education with both time and money to help with tuition costs. They promote from within first. I left to go to another orthopaedic company and it did not measure up. I couldn't get back fast enough!

Cons

I do not see any negatives. Yes, we are worked hard but that is required of all jobs. The difference here vs other orthopaedic companies is that you work hard TOGETHER, in a team! It can sometimes be difficult to make local people understand that diversity makes the workplace better, not worse. This is not Zimmer's fault, it is working in the Midwest. Also, Warsaw is very cold in the winter. It is very difficult to adjust to the climate.

Pros

Good salary, great products, hands off management style, relaxed environment, good work-life balance, nice people.

Cons

Little direction from management, too much focus on the bottom line, poor communication with international markets, lip service paid to employee engagement, little investment in training outside sales, little to no promotion opportunities (nearly all management is recruited from outside, at least in international markets).

Pros

Significant dedication and focus on improving the culture. This company will be much stronger in a year.

Cons

Being the biggest means you get held to a higher standard. Lots of fire drills. Salesforce does not sell new technology. Why would you if you make $400k a year?
