What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication, team building, delegate responsibility. No sense of team spirit or job satisfaction.
Review from Engineering Dept
Too little time (or rather, no time at all) is invested in the personal development of employees. There are practically no opportunities for career steps, at least in our division. You either accept this or leave the company. Naturally, this also has a negative impact on the motivation.
Review from Product Dept
Stop living in an ivory tower and realize the disconnect between that tower and the reality of under-resourced projects. We do things our customers don't ask for and ignore the things we should do. At least in my area of work - I certainly understand that other areas might be different.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Laying people off and outsourcing jobs to balance the budget is bad enough, but leadership taking a bonus at the end of the year after doing so is shameful.
Review from Engineering Dept
Create a technology roadmap Regular one-on-one meetings with the direct manager adjust the salary accordingly
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel fairly compensated. In my opinion, the question itself is not correctly phrased. Unfortunately, the company does not adequately consider employees' loyalty and the value of their experience. The opportunity to move into other positions is not available in every department.
Review from Engineering Dept
Salary is way behind where it should be. But then it is hard to pay someone more who is not given the chance to become more valuable.
Review from Engineering Dept
Although the price list for products and services has been adjusted (increased) at least 10 times over the last 5 years, salary increases are lower than the inflation rate. This should be changed in our opinion.
Review from Product Dept
When I joined this company, they told me about growth, but I have been in the same position for over three years, and that does not help improve my salary or compensation package.
Review from HR Dept
I have to continually fight to have compensation that I believe matches what I am doing.
Review from IT Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Take more responsibility, improve meeting efficiency
Review from Engineering Dept
Daily meetings should be work related and not forced water-cooler conversation. This leads to 3-5 hours of wasted time weekly.
Review from IT Dept
A general interest and investment in competency development, particularly from their leadership teams. The absence of good facilitation and coordination skills makes collaboration difficult.
Review from Operations Dept
Trimble retains and continues to hire low-performing, underqualified, and incompetent employees. Trimble needs to offer better compensation packages to acquire top talent.
Review from Finance Dept
I don't really know about this
Review from Product Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
First of all old employees should know to respect others even if they are at top positions.
Review from Finance Dept
Overall the company culture is dominated by the belief USA is ruling the world, economy is the only thing that matters and capitalism is the only way. We're destroying the world and are happy to do so.
Review from Product Dept
Long-term vision in any decision instead of looking at short-term benefits Personal gains and related politics should go away - company's growth and image should be protected at any cost Dealers should not become more important that the company
Review from Customer Success Dept
Better and faster communication from direct management. Management should be a motivator and problem solver like a sort of driving force that should boost the team.
Review from Operations Dept
We need to more open, more aligned with ideas that CEO Painter has shared. If we can accomplish the culture he is driving in the real life, in action, Trimble will be a super place to work
Review from Marketing Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The interview process takes anywhere from 60-90 days to fully complete, sometimes longer if positions are extremely technical. We need to shorten our process to keep up with smaller companies that can make offers after one interview takes place.
Review from HR Dept
Less interviews and decisions to be made much quicker.
Review from Sales Dept
I received no communication from HR
Review from IT Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Better pay and more focused project leadership.
Review from Engineering Dept
The other leaders around me are not good enough.
Review from Customer Support Dept
I will never be 'excited' to work at a place the prioritizes shareholder value over human value
Review from Engineering Dept
The facilities finally need to be renovated. The parking situation needs to be improved. The cafeteria situation needs to be improved.
Review from Engineering Dept
We should send out a strong message about our environment, world peace and how broke is the capitalist society, instead of focusing on money and going back to offices.
Review from Product Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Microwaves in all of the kitchens and more toilets.
Review from Engineering Dept
Broader equity awards amongst employees
Review from Business Development Dept
Agility to be able to hire faster
