Pros

The people are kind and it's fun to be in the office

Cons

Don't work here. Lack of structure and direction have caused so many ripples of turmoil throughout the company. Had to leave because there were so many people fighting for control that projects rither weren't completed or not efficiently. Ever since acquisition of Motorola Solutions, it's been a clash of two cultures that management seems to ignore

One Zebra on paper, Motorola Part 2 in Practice

Pros

Projects and development interesting and challenging. Employees really want to do what's best for the product and for the company.

Cons

- The mantra 'One Zebra' is being broadcast loud and clear. But in actuality, preferential treatment towards legacy Motorola employees is building walls of resentment. Employees are becoming demoralized by the obvious unfair treatment and lack of foresight from upper management. Legacy Zebra - no merit increases, no bonus eligibility until 2016 (and then only at 50% for the first year), Legacy Motorola - merit increases AND 100% retention of bonus eligibility.The spirit-crushing way that Zebra legacy employees were 'rewarded' for their 2015 performance was one of the most deplorable actions I've ever witnessed. Only after serious backlash did management conclude that a 2% payout for legacy Zebra employees would be offered. - Legacy Motorola ideas and structures are given higher value than those of Legacy Zebra. - Way too much red tape and policies. Zebra gets in its own way and has trouble executing and getting anything done. - Procrastination and over-analysis make actual decisions hard to come by. - Risk of failure completely paralyzes teams responsible for moving a project forward. - Inconsistent strategies and product definition. Too many changes and feature additions in the middle of a design cycle that have to be managed without adding cost or affecting the calendar.
