Pros

The Pros are all historical. Worked with some of the most talented Engineers in the world. Gained a wealth of experience. Pay was good, time off and ability to set your own schedule was phenomenal. Retirement benefits used to be top-notch. We were a family. Being a Motorolan was a badge of honor as an Engineer.

Cons

Our "visionary" CEO is trying to turn one of the greatest American communications hardware companies into a software and services company. Extremely sad to watch what used to be a legendary brand slowly split up, sold off, shut down, and forced to be something it is not by the Board of Directors, activist investors, and Wall Street. Innovation here is dead.

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.
