Trimble reviews

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.

Like many big companies, change is slow to happen, as in process changes, even when they are necessary. However, management doesn't shy away from this change, but it can be slow going.
