Pros

When I started in 1995, I never imagined I would still be working at Motorola.

I have to say there are so many good things about this company that I would not be able to write them all. I have been given many wonderful opportunities since I have been here. The people I have worked with and crossed paths with have been truly remarkable.

The work I do on a day to day impacts my customers and the public at large, and I play a direct role in that. I can't speak highly enough about the family first mentality and work life balance aspect of this company.

I am blessed to have been employed this many years and am looking forward to many more.

Cons

Over time, the company has chisled away many benefits and used the market average as the explanation.

Back when I started, MSI was the pioneer in our industry and not following the herd. I get that we have to be profitable, but some of the small transgressions against the employees do not go unnoticed.

For example, the unlimited PTO policy is not in our employees' best interest but rather the company's and the bottom line.

I am also very annoyed at the DEI practices that were implemented based on fraudulent data (there is only one study that is used to justify these actions, and it's not clear and concise information that supports these claims). Thank god they are being slowly rescinded.

Advice to Management

Value your long-term experienced staff. Typically, they were the ones targeted during reductions of any kind. These employees have a great deal of experience that is valuable to the continuity of the company and programs.
