Pros

The Motorola Solutions Salt Lake City Office is a great place to work. Ability to work from home 1 or 2 days a week. Excellent benefits, health, dental, vision, 401k, ESPP, annual bonus. Snacks on site, soda fountain, Young Professionals Groups drives a pink barbie jeep around a few times a month giving out great snacks. Great environment to work in. Excellent outlook for the company. Job has purpose and meaning working to with Public Safety.

Cons

Most of the cons are things that leadership is working to address. So no cons really

Project Management

Pros

Originally a strong project management culture, Motorola (and later, Motorola Solutions) engineering and management embraced and cultivated the key enablers. Good planning. Clear, consistent communication. A single source of truth. Accountability. It was a fantastic place to learn and practice project management.

Cons

Short-term thinking and lack of decision-making undermined the culture. Constant re-organization (and splitting the company into smaller and smaller niches). Management embraced an innovation culture, without understanding it. Afraid of being an 800 lb gorilla (that dominated their market spaces), they sought to become more silicon valley, without understanding the strengths of the former and the pitfalls in the latter. As Motorola imploded, the people left standing were the ones hoping to ride it out to retirement, or very good at a) powerpoint, and b) clearing things off their daily to-do lists without regard to the real impacts. Politics, influence, and in-fighting took over.
