Pros

After working for Trimble, I honestly cannot think of one legitimate "pro". The pay was competitive, so I guess this is a "pro". Oh yeah, they provide a select few with a cheesy chinesey Trimble jacket once a year. Yep, this would be "pro" number two.

Cons

Making the decision to go to work for Trimble was a huge decision for me and my family, and a mistake and a major setback for me. They have no system or method for on-boarding and nurturing new employees, and when it is time to leave the company you will be treated like cattle (ok maybe less than cattle). Treatment of their employees is very sad and over time I am sure this type of behavior will adversely affect their brand. Company values are exceptionally poor. The hiring process is very informal and not well thought out, and neither is their employee exit process. Leadership should be more involved with their team's goals and expectations, but they seem to be running scared (because of pressures from Wall Street) and have no time or energy to guide, mentor, or communicate. The company culture is overall very weak and non-supportive of their employees or channel partners.

Pros

Committed to excellence and growth in their markets. Tuition reimbursement program. Many opportunities for employee development within the company (lean training, team training, management training). I have been fortunate enough to move up several positions during my tenure, from shipping and receiving to a more technical position. Time off and profit sharing are excellent, insurance is good.

Cons

Lackluster for most in promoting from within. While their benefits are top notch, salary is a bit mediocre. Easy to get stuck in the same position or not move between departments.
