Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed Work environment, above average pay, low expectations

Cons

Many Senior managers were promoted from within although lacking strong management skills and global technology trends. This leads to ineffective management practices and inadequate expectations among teams. Communication issues between departments also leads to challenges with customer service.

Good old boy management

Senior software development engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits and quality products.

Cons

Zebra hires people with low wages and in return has people that are clueless as how to do their job. Very political, and no room for growth. The upper management is barely there to understand the issues and then firefighting, finger pointing and micromanagement style begins. Directors who’ve been there for too long and just take care of each other instead of making any real positive change.

Zebra Technologies Response

Our culture and its development is truly a work in progress. We appreciate your feedback as we recognize where we excel and where improvement may be needed. While you indicated you are a former Zebra, we encourage all forms of feedback, especially from current employees. It's important to us our employees feel heard and supported-most importantly we take action on their concerns.

Avoid Alpharetta..

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and Good benefits.

Cons

Avoid Alpharetta office at all costs. Culture is the worst I've ever seen. There is massive turnover due to a new Director brought in last year who is not qualified for the position. Executives are doing nothing while employees and even contractors are running away. There is no HR in the building and verbal abuse is rampant, lawsuit just waiting to happen.
