Pros
Note that I worked in the military division (Trimble Military and Advanced Systems - TMAS), which is a wholly owned subsidiary. However, I'll make comments about the general company as well. Starred Ratings below are more about TMAS. 1) The CEO of Trimble is a number cruncher, so he's always looking out for the company's bottom line. 2) The benefits are decent 3) The salaries are competitive 4) The general company has a good career tracking / employee review system 5) At TMAS, the jobs are very stable. 6) At TMAS, you get a small company environment, even though the general company has thousands of employees 7) At TMAS, leadership encourages a good work-life balance. 8) Management at TMAS is open to ideas that can improve processes 9) Management at TMAS "has your back" when conflicts arise with outside agencies.
Cons
1) As I said above, benefits are decent, but not competitive with top companies in this area 2) TMAS should invest more in automation of software testing. 3) It's a very flat organization., so not a lot of variety in positions. 4) You need to have patience and confidence to succeed at TMAS. 5) Could use improvement in the area of "on-boarding" and training of new employees. 7) TMAS does not use the Trimble career tracking / employee review system
