Pros
I've worked with some very good employees and direct management. Time off was adjusted a few years ago and is now fairly competitive. Direct managers have been willing to listen to ideas and have encouraged innovation. The merger with the Motorola Enterprise group created a great and synergistic portfolio of products.
Cons
Legacy Zebra employees recently found that not only would they not receive *any* merit bonuses this year, but that the former Motorola employees would receive merit bonuses *and* a profit-sharing type bonus This has de-moralized and de-incentivized many long time employees, who now feel devalued. Meanwhile, management tried to appease employees by saying that their own bonuses were also being "deferred." Deferred simply means "put off until a later time." This shameful treatment of employees who worked hard to bring Zebra to where it is now is not how you retain your best and brightest talent. And unfortunately with reviews here on this site, it's not how you're going to attract new talent with skills you need. The backlash from employees actually caused management to rethink their actions, and they came back and offered a whopping 2% bonus as a conciliatory gesture. Unfortunately, that does not sit well with many people. It's perceived as an insult -- a scrap thrown to the dogs to shut them up. I am aware of employees actively looking for new jobs, or considering retirement because of this recent treatment.
