Executive management, is detached, out of the loop, and gets their strategy or lack there of from articles - Anonymous employee Zebra Technologies Employee Review

Most of the company is run off of excel spreadsheets. Dont be fooled by the word "technologies" in the company name. Executive management doesn't have a clue what goes on internally or in the marketplace. The are absent and detached. They do not execute strategy. Many of executive ideas come from articles they have read on a plane while on a business trip, the article may be a strategy implemented by a completely unrelated company, and without any custimization toward Zebra, they will try and impliment the article. The direction of the company changes often and flounders, 2009 the direction changed 3 times. The company has outsourced production and that has been an utter mess. The company could not deliver product to buying customers towards the end of 2009 and moving into 2010 as well.
