Pros

Best in class products. Excellent mission statement to help customers do their best in moments that matter.

Cons

Despite positive earnings quarter over quarter and year after year, this company continues to make poor decisions regarding infrastructure and rewarding employees. They use earnings to buy up redundant companies and then they off their talent to pay for it. If you have gray hair, for get about actually seeing a graceful retirement. Medical insurance costs are twice what my spouse pays at a smaller company. PTO is only good if you are there for more than 15 years. Employees are often asked to take pay downgrades or upgrade to management with no training or incentive, so you can have a whole team making more than you do. No more stock options offered. I could go on and on about how this company is not compensating employees fairly. But the bottom line is once you leave MSI, you won't miss the BS at all.

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.
