Pros

Developers here are usually friendly and cooperative. They are not usually strict on PTO and vacation days: Balance between work and life is well maintained.

Cons

Don't bother hoping for a great raise, moving up the ladder, or explore different career options. Middle management is horrifying. Many of them micro manages, excuse me, "pico" manages their workers. If you are a kind of person who draw motivation from rewards and recognition, I suggest take your career search somewhere else.

Pros

Highly technical Quality engineers Team environment Technical skills are valued New ideas encouraged Good benefits Big company run as bunch of small companies

Cons

Some managers are not technical as needed Siloed organizations Products competing within the same company Witch hunting versus problem solving Line managers need management training When technical skills missing, politics and finger pointing fills in

Pros

Solid technology, good engineering teams, competent management, good pay, travel opportunities.

Cons

Completely siloed organization; lack of big-picture strategy vs. competition; Trimble uses acquisitions to fuel growth but has trouble assimilating & merging the acquired businesses. Attempts at setting up a culture of innovation are stifled by a focus on short-term revenue growth and/or bottom line growth.
