Trimble Engineer reviews

Complete lack of accountability. There are rarely consequences for poor performance or immature behavior. Career growth is non-existent. It's a fight to be fairly compensated. There is also a lack of transparency around opportunities except for some fluff once a quarter. There is a struggle to adapt to modern ideologies of how to build software and best practices. Antiquated policies that will create issues in retaining talent.

The employee end of this business is aggressively tweaked to minimize employee reward. While all of those perks above exist, the caveats are downright demoralizing. Quarterly profit sharing is Trimble's way of giving employee bonuses. But the percentage is so low that our effective yearly bonus dropped to 10% of what it was pre-Trimble acquisition. Trimble has mandatory vacation days. 8 days of your paid time off are stolen per year for mandatory facility closures, nearly half of your yearly accrual. Healthcare is very substandard (Trimble might not be fully at fault here because of the current state of US insurance). No matter which of the limited options available, expect to drop thousands out of pocket for basic care because they each have either sky high deductibles or enormous co-pays. Merit raises are far below standard, by a long shot. They're only a hint above inflation.
