Pros
They had some of the best benefits and perks I've ever had. I also enjoyed having flex hours and really liked my coworkers.
Cons
There are a lot of politics at play when you work in the Marcom division of the company. Once you start to climb that corporate ladder, others may throw you under the bus.
Advice to Management
There needs to be more oversight and leadership within certain departments. Also, it isn't fair to be asked to work overtime and not be compensated.

Pros
Great teamwork among coworkers. Very nice benefits package. Able to work from home and schedule travel as needed.
Cons
The perks of the job are slowly being eliminated (travel compensation, loyalty rewards, ect.). Micro-management is setting in and emphasis is being made on sales as support structure is being put more in the background. There is a lot of background politics in this company - keep that in mind because you won't see it coming...
Advice to Management
The management structure for this division has always been poor but mostly can be worked around. Improve your management or you will loose employees.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Leica Geosystems full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Plenty of PTO if you have worked here for years
Opportunities to try out development roleCons
There is a lot of politics going on internally , and co-worker will try everything to throw you under the bus if you want to promote above them
Conflicts of interests ／different ideas on completing tasks can quickly escalate to personal attack at work place on a daily basis
This is still a toxic work place of its own kind currently: people bad mouth each other behind their back, "back-stabbing" can be at a whole different level that you cannot expect
Human Resource is at its headquarter Atlanta, Georgia, so basically if you work here at the software development division , forget about HR, nobody care your problem, nobody will help you, you are on your own, simply as it...Advice to Management
get some HR support to fix your work place

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Leica Geosystems full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Leica Geosystems works with a variety of interesting hardware and software measurement technologies. When our company was acquired by Leica, the focus was not on "synergies" (i.e. cost savings), but on how -- together -- we could do the best job for our customers. Still a European company at heart, the benefits were great.
Cons
As part of Hexagon, some business units can get moved around. Your fortunes after moving out of LG may vary.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Leica Geosystems full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Great benefits, good people I have the pleasure to meet along the way, many of them left to other companies along the way.
Cons
If you are not loud you don't get to move on corporate ladder. Too much politics play, rules that only create busy work for upper management and only creates more work for other employees.
Advice to Management
Learn about no managerial employees and listen to employees that spend time with customer day to day out on the field.

Pros
Great people, Great company. Pretty transparent. Work is pretty enjoyable.
Cons
Lack of diversity is sort of an issue. Some areas have NO growth opportunity, which means you will have to stay in the same position for a very long time or leave the company.
Advice to Management
Be like Ken. That should be a saying around here or WWKD What Would Ken Do? He's an awesome leader with a wonderful personality, but some of his team is not the same and shouldn't be managers.
