Vantaggi
Zebra used to be a great company that I used to look forward to going to everyday....That is, pre-acquisition of Motorola.The employees I interacted with were always nice and helpful. There was a, "We want you to succeed" mentality.
Svantaggi
My, have things have changed dramatically in 1 1/2 years time. Zebra has lost A LOT of intelligent, hard-working legacy zebra employees in a significantly short amount of time due to the inept decisions made in part by upper and executive management. The blatant inequity shown over the past year has negatively affected legacy Zebra employees (Most notably and recently, the paltry 2% bonus received in 2016 for the thankless yet tireless work done in 2015, while legacy Motorola employees received both a bonus and merit increase). In addition, the new incentive program guidelines showcase favoritism toward legacy Motorola employees (disparity between legacy Zebra and Motorola target bonuses that will not level set until 2018). Other issues legacy Zebra folks continue to face since the acquisition include poor treatment and disrespect as well as obvious bias of legacy Motorola employees by management within their own teams. It is truly shameful and disappointing that this is the current state of Zebra, because it used to be a wonderful collaborative place to work. The upside is that now, many legacy Zebra employees who have left have been swooped up by fantastic companies that value their knowledge and stellar work ethic. Zebra's loss is another company's gain.
