Pros

I've worked at Motorola my entire career. Which I would not have done if it were not an ethical, solid company. Strong backlog, reliable customer base. Like any company, there are times of disruption, reorgs and acquisitions and divestitures. Times of expansion and contraction. People come and go. Leaders come and go. But the core of the company, and the culture that was put in place by the founders son Bob Galvin remains. You can be proud of the work you do here. The products make a difference in people's lives. Salary structure is on the low side of fair, but the PTO policy is outstanding. Flexible and generous.

Cons

It's smaller than it used to be, but it's still a big, global public corporation. It can move slowly, and has rules and requirements and processes to follow. All for good reason, but that frustrates some who are used to small companies, or working for themselves. Your career development is largely your responsibility.

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.
