Pros

There are talented, hardworking people here who care deeply about the product and patients. 1. Dedicated and capable coworkers 2. Technically interesting work

Cons

I cannot recommend this company in its current state. Since becoming Highridge Medical, executive leadership has made a series of decisions that have significantly eroded morale, trust, and retention. Long-standing employee time-off incentives (including the weeks of July 4th and Christmas) were eliminated without meaningful replacement. Employees were explicitly told there was no intent to mandate a full return to office, only to later require 5 days per week onsite (not applicable to leadership apparently). That reversal damaged credibility and trust. Compensation remains well below other local medical device companies, despiteexpectations that consistently exceed industry norms. There have been layoffs every 4 months or so over the past 4 years since the original split from Zimmer Biomet Spine to ZimVie Spine. Workloads are completely unsustainable. Burnout is widespread, not isolated. Instead of adjusting compensation or staffing levels to remain competitive, existing employees are expected to absorb increasing demands. Multiple senior development engineer offers have reportedly been declined due to noncompetitive pay, which should be a clear market signal that leadership appears unwilling to address. Executive leadership behavior has also contributed to a rapidly deteriorating culture. Professionalism and respect from the top, namely in operations, are inconsistent. HR concerns appear to be tolerated rather than resolved, and the overall environment has shifted toward one of pressure and toxicity. Cons: 1. Below-market compensation 2. Chronic overload and burnout 3. Reversal of flexibility commitments 4. Elimination of meaningful time-off incentives 5. Executive leadership concerns 6. Declining culture and trust Candidates should thoroughly research compensation benchmarks and ask direct questions about workload, flexibility, and retention before accepting an offer. Unfortunately, the current direction of leadership, compensation strategy, and workplace expectations makes this an increasingly difficult place to build a sustainable career.

The WORST Place to Work

Pros

- The benefits are cheap

Cons

Where do I start? If I could rate it a 0 I would. - Senior management is a nightmare - Huge turnover rate - Absolutely 0 career growth opportunities - Management doesn't advocate for their employees - If someone on your team quits, they don't backfill. They give you the workload - They're forcing people back to office (but only if you're near the office. Those they hired from out of state get to stay remote. Unfair much?) - It's CHAOTIC. There is no organization whatsoever. They change projects and directions daily - C-levels and VPs get pay raises, everyone else gets laid off and/or are underpaid to begin with - They do employee feedback surveys and then throw them in the trash. They do the opposite of what employees want. - They'll expect everything from you, and then lay you off or reward you with more work

Pros

Other than once having had a leadership position in spine products, none. Consider that its LinkedIn page promotes "new" products that were released years ago.

Cons

Where to begin? This business was a mess before the ZimVie spinout in 2022, having been a mishmash of companies that didn’t make the most sense combined together under the Zimmer Biomet umbrella, after which the business continued to lose substantial revenue because ZimVie failed to accomplish a much-needed reset for the spine business. The private equity carveout of the spine business from ZimVie in 2024 was rocky, injecting even more substantial doubt and instability into the marketplace and the employee base. Constant turnover at all levels has fueled a poor culture. They have had three CFOs in the last 12 months. Two CHROs. Two CEOs. New positions created, and tons of voluntary and involuntary attrition. I am mystified why they let go of so many dedicated, hard-working people who had years of knowledge, education and connections in the spine industry and with the company's products. These roles were often replaced by networked people of lesser talent and experience. This creates an unstable atmosphere where everyone is fearful for their job, and no one wants to stay or feels secure. Almost everyone is looking for an exit door, and yes, I'm serious. Priorities are also constantly shifting, adding to the feeling of instability and unease. Also, the "return to office" push has been tone deaf since the majority of new leadership does not live locally and there are many remote employees, so this seems like an arbitrary check-the-box "butt in the seat" exercise, especially since mandated time in the office is not optimized.
