"I'm afforded complete control over the conception and development of the customer's requested customization. I've used this freedom to learn new languages and frameworks; however, I do not believe Zebra places a great enough emphasis on software development."

"My early years there were great! Product development and managers who were interested in seeing design, and money saving innovation which was reliable."

"Keep going the way they are going now. They only create documentation copies of the system produced in front of it. No new innovation or component updates to keep up with parts availability."
