Challenging work with excellent engineers, but in a constantly declining US workforce
Challenging work with excellent engineers, but in a constantly declining US workforce
The work is challenging, with fairly up-to-date technology. The engineers are excellent and very experienced. The compensation and benefits are very competitive.
There is very little US-based executive management.
There have been constant layoffs, both under Motorola and Nokia, mostly due to offshoring.
Decision-making at the executive level seems to be slow.
The executive management says they value the quality of the previous Motorola products, but they don't value the experience of the engineers that built those quality products.
