Geospatial Reorganization

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Due to lack of long term focus and clear objectives, the company lacks constant development and acquires technologies instead. Those acquisitions bring overhead and then after low sales cycles, reorganization triggers layoffs. Management is driven by old surveying groups that think that position technologies orbit around surveyors, leaving behind other more important players in the Geospatial industry.

Cons

No strategies whatsoever. End of quarters are the best time for dealers since Regional Management offers discounts that do not even bring anything to the company. There are managers that were laid off and are so cheeky that go back to their dealers requesting letters to have them back in the company.

Pros

Great people. Interesting and challenging market in which to work. Cool technologies. Laid back atmosphere.

Cons

Communication with management is lacking. Career development and pay for performance is non-existent. Lip service is given to things brought up by employees, but that's about it.

Incredibly talented developers, incredibly poor management

Anonymous employee

Pros

Trimble has some of the most talented developers I've ever worked with. They provide market level salaries and excellent benefits.

Cons

Management is terrible and often has expectations that are out of touch with reality. Upper management gets their positions based on who they know, rather than what they know, and usually have no idea about the technologies they are supposed to be managing. Zero upward mobility. The only way to advance is to apply for another position in a different division of the company.. Miniscule annual raises (merit based raise tops out at 1.75%).. Basically, expect to stay in the same position at the same rate of pay until you leave.
