Pros

They have good pay and their benefits has been cut a lot but still are decent. In most positions you are allowed freedom to improvise and try new things and take risk which is great. Most procedures are highly documented and there are a lot of very good experienced professionals with great working ethics. A rookie would learn a lot there.

Cons

Motorola lost the innovation ambition. When CEO Greg Brown took office I thought it was going to be great after the previous parachute CEOs. Boy was I wrong. It has been the worst. Any business unit that doesn't make money he sells it because he doesn't have the skills to make it profitable. Slowly he has destroyed a great company and what remains soon will become part of whomever buys it. So if you go to work there just be aware that you soon will be part of a merge. And Greg will make tons of money with his 3 million plus shares he has. A great motivation for him.

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.
