3.4Trimble has been an interesting ride.
The good:
Good people. Freedom to get your job done without being micromanaged. Can be cool to see how hardware is assembled from early prototypes to a finished product. Can work in a lot of different areas of tech if you would like. Freedom to work from home if you need to.
The bad:
We struggle with basic planning and organization, ensuring all engineers are being utilized in the right way, and saying NO to features that shouldn't belong in certain releases.
We are far behind current times. Our UI/UX are a decade behind the current industry trends. We don't trust our users to be competent enough to handle change, so we stick with old designs that don't even make sense in the current climate. Glad other tech giants like Apple and Microsoft didn't just stop with earlier OS versions and say "These users couldn't figure out how to use the next version of our software"....
We don't strive to be the best, to write the best code, and to be future/forward thinking. We just "get it done". We don't care enough about our users to actually pay employees to do the research to know if our concepts are even close to what the end user wants. Instead we wing it and find out that we were way off base.
There is no communication between divisions, in fact, there is basic animosity towards one another. Don't even think about suggesting something that X division is doing (and doing it well), we don't want to do it that way, there way is dumb.
Don't listen to customers who want X and then show that example to a manager. The manager will just say, "That is dumb and wrong."
3.7Worked at Trimble a little over 1 yr. Pros: brand new office environment, wealth of resources to do job (computer, tech, etc.) and to grow (seminars, conferences, etc.). Got to travel a bit, which is a plus. Coworkers were genial and amenable. Plenty of training and on-the-the-job knowledge gained.
Cons: business is segmented into units which rarely interact, leading to duplicate efforts, miscommunication/ no communication, or silos going in their own direction.. Company too concerned with quarterly reports from Wall Street than comprehensive plan for growth - each Q was either "fine" or a scramble to make ends meet (layoffs, cut PTO, etc.). Company focuses on acquisitions over internal growth, only adding more silos to the disconnected network. Some employees bad with technology or communication but could be a corporate issue generally, not company-specific.
3.5I've been with Trimble for nearly three years. I enjoy the culture of the environment, as well as the work areas. The pay is competitive, but slow to grow. Unfortunately, I think this is one of those companies that you have to leave in order to make a significant jump in pay.
