DePuy Synthes Reviews

Cons

Sometimes overtime on weekends is "mandatory", co workers will always think they know what's best, nothing about the company is bad just the people that work there

Cons

Synthes was purchased by J&J (a.k.a. DePuy) and after a few years reorganized and downsized a large % of employees, many who had been there 10+ years. Morale was bad as we continued to see coworkers being let go. Big corporations apparently don't value loyalty, just the bottom line.

Cons

Unknown times of working
Long Days
Rare Recognition of Hard-Work

Cons

not steady work. layoff if slow performance

Cons

1. The intense competitive pressure within the medical device production sector of the health care industry and its trajectory of small to flat growth in the immediate future has negative impacts on enterprise business growth prospects.
2. The US and Global Quality Regulation and compliance, together with an accelerating level of safety culture initiatives mandate very high levels of workforce training. Management has communicated training completion always as the top priority, but in practice, many aspects of work task deadlines have greater weighting. Conflicts within the workforce result, and training gaps correction dominate activities during pre-audit preparation and end of the year team project close outs. As a short example, I completed 300 + training elements in a 3 year time period.
3. The enterprise operates under a public warning letter from a primary regulator. The nature of the warning letter represents a risk to the the viability of product sale and distribution globally.
4. The pace of continued process and culture change within the enterprise franchise that I was employed, represents a significant stress for the longer term employees who have participated in two separate corporate acquisitions. These individuals with higher levels of expertise continue to leave the local enterprise because they are not pleased with the trajectory ahead.
5. Competitive cost pressures have brought in a path of austerity measures and cost reduction objectives defined for the year ahead. This directional change does not incorporate any advanced recalibration of workload/work tempo or other site department deliverables. The austerity measures under this context are disruptive to the organization as it continues to meet other strategic alignment measures requested by the parent corporation.

Cons

So much red tape, most projects take far too long if they're completed at all.
Spend a lot of time proving your worth through analytics.
Seems like they execute a re-org every few years.

Cons

Extremely poor management, absolute 0 recognition, lies from management frequently, pay and benefits are trash, you're expected to do management's job for them and expect no merit increase, and just plain unprofessional and unorganized

Cons

Work life balance. Unreasonable expectations and turn around times.

Cons

very tainted culture, not much diversity and the lack of knowledge of certain individuals in high position is mind blowing

Cons

can be difficult to get a permanent role in some departments if that what you are looking for
