Pros

Motorola's work culture is very work hard, play hard - Employees are very focused during the week but the Young Professionals Group hosts monthly in office happy hours and annual boat cruises, company pays for a beer cart to come around on Fridays Generous salary and benefits - Salary was much higher than expected for a recent graduate. Their offer was actually $10,000 higher than the minimum expected salary I listed on my application. Meaningful company mission, interesting work and products - actually feel like end products make a difference Flexible work hours and work from home. Great HQ location in West Loop - in between Ogilvy and Union Station which is perfect for city dwellers and commuters. Last, but not least: the free snacks and latte machines

Cons

Need to be autonomous. You won't be micromanagement but new hires can feel like they are lacking guidance. Takes a lot of time to understand the products if you are not from the public safety/ telecom industry. Big company means lots of division between departments and teams.

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.

Thanks for your review. We regularly review employee compensation to make sure it is competitive with local market practices in the industries and countries where we operate. Additionally, all Motorola Solutions employees participate in an annual incentive plan or a sales incentive plan. That said, we appreciate your feedback and have made a note of it.
