The people are awesome. People are supportive and there is not a lot of drama.

Management is clueless and unstable. No consistency and they repeat the same mistakes over and over. They are not open to input.

Mismanagement Abounds

Pros

The corporate culture is generally fair and positive. People mostly treat each other well and professionally. There are many opportunities to jump onto special projects and demonstrate skills on top of your core job.

Cons

Working here was like stepping back in time a couple of decades. The house is always on fire due to lack of top-down strategy and planning. Also little willingness to invest in key disciplines that are considered important at Trimble's competitors. It's an entrenched culture of cronies and long-timers who have always done things the same way. People acquired or hired from other companies are not empowered to change things, so they leave. Marketing is a great example. Big emphasis on trade shows and events, while nearly all other forms of contemporary marketing and sales support are either ignored or seriously under-resourced. Relatively poor bonus and compensation. Stock price says a lot.
