Pros

Honestly, nothing. The situation is getting unmanageable after acquiring Motorola Enterprise Division and selling the Wireless Division to Extreme Networks.

Cons

Honestly... I noticed Zebra is monitoring what people wrote here. Some of the unusual good reviews seem to be fake and short.

Zebra Technologies Response

Although challenging to hear, we appreciate all feedback. We're sorry you feel the way you do about the direction of the business. The organization has gone through quite a bit of change over the past few years, and we recognize the changes have impacted our employees in a variety of ways. We do remain confident the changes we've made will help Zebra in the long term. It appears you are a still an employee, please reach out to your leadership or HR if you feel your situation is becoming "unmanageable", they can help. Lastly, we would never put up fake reviews, we're lucky to have many happy people in Zebra Nation and we're so proud to see their reviews!

Terribly managed. HR has "gotcha" attitude.

Pros

Offers some of the best health care benefits I've seen since the 90s.

Cons

Has terrible turnover because MANAGEMENT HAS NO IDEA HOW TO MANAGE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. This company has historically been a hardware company and decided they will be an IOT company which mean they acquired several software offerings. THEY HAVE NO LEADERSHIP SKILLS for this endeavor. Not only that but the HR dept has a "gotcha" attitude and loves to set people up for failure and either write you up over it or fire you. I saw in my 3 years there, 15 people leave, either by their own accord or by being let go, in a department that only had 30 people. Recap: Bad senior management, bad HR department.

Zebra Technologies Response

Thank you for your feedback, despite the difficulty of hearing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your comments re. leadership and HR.
