Pros

Lots of freedom (within guidelines) to engineer as you see best fit.

Cons

Trimble has become more of a "big company" over the last decade or so. The stability is nice but with big company comes lots of process and procedure... not really to my liking. but.... Trimble is still a set of about 50 fairly small businesses so even though we're big, it feels small... well... sometimes....

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.
