Pros

Zebra has been the best place that I have ever worked. Lower management is wonderful. I love our products.

Cons

Legacy Zebra employees are being made to feel like second-class citizens compared to former Motorola employees. This has not been the case in all other purchases of companies in the past. Before, the other company was molded to fit into Zebra. Now the former Zebra is being molded to fit into the old Motorola. In 2016, legacy Zebra employees will not get a merit raise OR a bonus, however, the former Motorola employees will get up to a 10% bonus *and* merit raises. Legacy Zebra employees are eligible for a 5% bonus in 2017, half of what the former Motorola employees will get. An announcement came out recently, probably because of backlash, that legacy Zebra employees will get a 2% bonus (still no merit raise) - while the former Motorola employees will still get their 10% bonus and merit raise. Better than nothing, I guess, but still a slap in the face.

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.
