Motorola

Excellent work-life balance and a modernish tech stack. A good place to learn to engineer, follow a process, do structured work, learn, and grow.

A lot of veterans around who can mentor you. Interesting and challenging problems to work on.

A very well-resourced company that will do everything they can to get you all the things you need to get your work done efficiently.

Compensation is below the industry average. Growth and promotions are difficult, and there is no clear career trajectory. The VSA (Avigilon) org has had constant reorgs in the last couple of years which has caused some chaos. Office politics at the management level feels exhausting.

Higher management should put effort into bringing stability to the mid-low management level and set a direction to make sure goals and objectives persist across leaders. Directions change with leaders, and people often have to reorient themselves, and the work and effort that they put in are often wasted.
