Pros

The workers at Zebra are some of the best. Very innovative, great ideas and develop with the best intentions. Cool product line. Compensation was competitive but now slipping.

Cons

One of the more political and most reactive corporations ever. It's all about schedule. Don't worry if it works, as long as it's released on schedule, we'll (no, you'll) fix the problems later. And while you're fixing the problems that occurred on the last project, you'll have to work on this new project and make sure it meets schedule. Plagued with incapable micro-managers that are unable or unwilling to make a decision and move forward. Management should not be involved in projects at the molecular level. Lots of interdepartmental bickering. Offshore manufacturing is a complete and undeniable disaster, but with upper management it's all about numbers and will never admit to their mistake. This will continue to hurt the company as well as the deplete any remaining morale of the employee base.

Pros

Paid Time Off is generous if allowed to use

Cons

Management is a disaster. Far too many Senior Managers that do not contribute but reduce total comp or headcount available for the real work. Talented, high-performing individuals leave in droves. Often when the company goes through the lay-off period, They terminate all the high earners in favor of hiring junior staff, who then leave very shortly. Very high attrition rate. HR is zero help, as should be expected. Failing tech with no valid improvements. Shrinking stock and market capitalization.
