Pros

There used to be good reasons to work at motorola, maybe back in the early 90's. They were growing, had a diverse product and solution portfolio, and you could even achieve some amount of professional success.

Cons

Lately, there is nothing to be happy about at motorola. For the past ten years, all they have done is lay off wave after wave after wave after wave of good people. Tens of thousands of people's lives negatively impacted. Morale is at an all time low, and people don't get any work done because they spend the majority of their time looking over their shoulder waiting to be the next one to get laid off.

Pros

Great management team. Competitive pay. Flexibility and balanced family life.

Cons

Sometimes work can be "hot potatoed" around when the scope of work is not clear within project groups.

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.
