used to be good

Pros

Motorola used to care about their employees, good benefits including healthcare and vacation time. In the public safety business there was purpose to the work, protecting the first responders with rock solid communication.

Cons

Now there is no job security, layoffs happen every quarter. Land Mobile Radio business market is shrinking leading to cutting of costs. Jobs are moving overseas to low cost centers. Many of the good people are leaving and not being replaced, making those left behind to try and pick up the pieces.

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.

It comes down to the bottom line

Pros

I get to work with some top notch people, creating great products that hopefully make a difference in the world. Decent benefits Flexible work environment - can work from home.

Cons

They laid off my manager and the second most senior person on my team simply because they were "expensive". My manager is an incredibly hard worker that is great at her job with over 15 years of experience, but they decided they could no longer afford to keep her and the other person on our team. The recent "business decisions" management has been making really suck, and I have a feeling there will be blowback from our customers when the products suffer.
