Pros

MSI has a great public safety mission

Cons

Health benefits are lacking and expensive. No stock options grants for most. Maybe they exist for execs? They keep messing with our salary and benefits package. First, they suspended the 401k match and merit increases for several months in response to new tariffs. Rather than raise product prices like many other companies, they chose to punish employees. After complaints, they brought back the match and offered a one-time bonus that, after taxes, was less than half of what they withheld from our 401ks - not to mention any growth it couldve seen in our portfolios. The latest 401k change is to pay out the 4% match in MSI common stock. They framed this move as a great opportunity to give employees equity in the company. Execs must think they are so much smarter than their employees and expect that no one will understand what is happening. MSI stock value has decreased 26% since sept. Im failing to see how this is a better option than contributing to my DIVERSIFIED index fund that has been experiencing consistent growth.

No Vision and Non-Competitive Pay

Pros

My time with Motorola Solutions was great from a culture perspective. The people were a joy to work around and very driven. The teams had great cohesion and worked well together. As long as you're working hard, giving effort, the likelihood of a promotion or receiving merit is high. Unlimited PTO is a very nice benefit if you remember to use it and Motorola offers a 401K which they match your contributions. Working remote is fairly flexible depending on your manager.

Cons

High workload with no relief offered by management although aware of the high workload. The pay is far below what you would expect for market rate. Compensation is based off of a national average instead of localizing the pay based off your reporting office location. This type of policy will cripple your base salary returns if you are working in-office within a larger scale city. Products that are being pushed out are nowhere near maturity but sales are forced.
