Pros

Motorola's work culture is very work hard, play hard - Employees are very focused during the week but the Young Professionals Group hosts monthly in office happy hours and annual boat cruises, company pays for a beer cart to come around on Fridays Generous salary and benefits - Salary was much higher than expected for a recent graduate. Their offer was actually $10,000 higher than the minimum expected salary I listed on my application. Meaningful company mission, interesting work and products - actually feel like end products make a difference Flexible work hours and work from home. Great HQ location in West Loop - in between Ogilvy and Union Station which is perfect for city dwellers and commuters. Last, but not least: the free snacks and latte machines

Cons

Need to be autonomous. You won't be micromanagement but new hires can feel like they are lacking guidance. Takes a lot of time to understand the products if you are not from the public safety/ telecom industry. Big company means lots of division between departments and teams.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
