Pros: Great team, atmosphere, work balance, and work culture.

Cons: It can feel like the salary isn’t as competitive as other tech giants.

Pros: Great work life balance; the option for hybrid is amazing, as well as the seniors and mentors there, who are very helpful. The team that you work with is also very helpful.

Cons: It depends on the team you are working with, and the skillsets you have working there will limit your options for seeking new opportunities.

Pros: In general, most people are great to work with and helpful. CEO Brown has done a decent job over the years from a top level, and he is very articulate and will actually answer an email from the ordinary workers.

Cons: Motorola is a great place to work if you’re not looking for a pension, but be prepared for no raises or vertical job movement. You will be stuck where you are unless you are in management, where it is like a frat club. It’s a shrinking company with no innovation, so work just to get their name on your resume and move on. The people in the trenches are great, but the management style is not so much. Motorola has a bad habit of laying off older, very knowledgeable, decades-long seasoned employees nearing retirement, replacing them with college fresh-outs or contractors. Employees recognize this bad behavior and lose dedication. Management thinks this is saving them money short-term, but it costs since they are always reinventing the wheel instead of innovating. Having a practice of hiring a contractor, having you train him, laying you off since you’ve been there too long (even though you excel), and then hiring the contractor. I’ve seen this happen for years, and it’s age discrimination. They’re so blinded by their Capex spreadsheets that they’re tripping over dollar bills to pick up dimes. Do not expect to have any long-term career at Motorola. It is a great place if you want to moonlight multiple jobs.
