Lack of communication a big problem

Pros

I was paid well for what I did. Trimble is constantly buying up other companies and so I was hired for one role and after the group was integrated into the corporate my role changed making me well paid for what I did. (So maybe I lucked into a high pay rate)

Cons

There is virtually no communication in Trimble. You know the saying that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing? Well at Trimble the left hand does not even know that the right hand exists. Trimble is a fractured company with far flung groups that it has purchased all doing their own thing with limited input from corporate. It makes it difficult to know what resources are available (or how the company does things), especially since they seem to like to run lean and mean, meaning that no one has time to communicate and tell how things are done are what resources are available. It takes weeks often to get answers to simple questions. The end result is there really is no one way that Trimble does anything. Every group just does there own thing

Pros

Great work environment and some brilliant colleagues.

Cons

General Managers are only driven by the bottom line. Most of them are far from having the necessary skills to define and implement growth business strategies.
