Pros

There are some extremely talented people who work at Trimble. The employees (largely excluding management) were very open and willing to work together as a team to help our customers. I was able to travel extensively and gain a lot of experience with a wide variety of industries.

Cons

Human resources is powerless if you have an issue, they want to back up management not employees. My manager was promoted because she had been there so long but was an absolute disgrace when it came to management. She put down our entire team with constant negativity and targeted several people she did not like for whatever personal reasons. They did a number of illegal things (such as cutting my profit sharing) when I had an issue with my manager, and only after involving a lawyer did they actually obey NZ employment law. The CEO is an accountant and as such employees are treated as numbers - he does everything to discourage employees getting pay rises or promotions. All of these have to be approved directly by him so you have to involve 4-5 levels of management to fight on your behalf, which is extremely difficult to do. I would not recommend anyone I know/like to work at this company.

Pros

Great people, process and market awareness. Connected ecosystem is a very strong play

Cons

Some of Procore's executive leadership have migrated here and they've brought with them some of the ruthlessness toward front line sales that made Procore a known toxic environment for sales people. Don't believe me about Procore? Ask ChatGPT about Procore Sales Culture or did into it here. Also base salaries and commissions are low compared to other orgs. You will sell 3 year deals and only get paid on ARR. If you get on the right team you could make great money. If you don't you could be looking for another job soon.
