Good training plan for employees. People are given good compensation based on performance and contribution. Good appraisal system to evaluate people fairly.
Pros
Systematic and Organized
Cons
Too many processes.
I've worked for only 3 companies over the past 30 years, IBM, one small company, and Motorola Solutions. Motorola is the best! The culture is good, as is the salary.
Great place to work for. Celebrates diversity. Cares about work life balance.Most employees work remotely. Very flexible on work location and hours.
Be prepared to lead, be proactive.
Their projects primarily are upgrading old networks with new systems. It is challenging by testing your knowledge and creativity.
Pros
Challenging projects
Cons
Long hours
Highly recommended
Structured but flexible attitude; working closely with customers, partners, Suppliers
Very professional environment without any biases.
They lost the job culture. I have known people that have worked there for many years but for the last three or four years they couldn't sleep because of all the layoffs. They finally got laid off and I am now in business for themselves. The CEO of the ones who are making the money they simply don't care for other employees. I don't know anyone who has retired from Motorola. This used to happen often back in the 80's and 90"s. This doesn't happen anymore, they lay you off, to hire someone for less pay. This company has gone downhill for many years.
Difficult to reach manager. HR unresponsive. Layoffs were a constant concern. Most of my coworkers were released with little to no notice.
Have filed a grievance due to none payment of last check.
Everyone arrives with a common goal and the collaboration between teams is always a plus. Making the extra effort to get a task done or find efficiencies is always met with a great deal of enthusiasm and encouragement.
A typical day at work was fast paced and multi-task intensive. I have learned to work with various cross-functional teams to provide solutions to customer needs all over the world.. The workplace culture is diverse and positive. The hardest part of the job is work life balance. The most enjoyable part of the job is engaging with customers and providing quality customer service and solutions.
Pros
Multi-national corporation
Cons
work like balance
Strong mix of experienced and inexperienced talent. Plenty of work to go around. Everyone marches to the same beat. Could use more emphasis on personal career growth.
Pros
Strong product line. Very successful business.
Cons
Not much variance in the day-to-day stuff.
This was my first job. I started as a Technical Support Engineer and was promoted to Manager of Support. Moved into Quality Management and later into Project Management. Motorola always fostered employee growth and career advancement
Company is far behind in technology. It is surviving because of its large customer base but even that is declining. Find another company unless you work cheap overseas.
What makes a great job are great colleagues and manager. I was fortunate to have both at Motorola and very much enjoyed my job. I was fortunate to work on exciting high tier products ensuring successful launches.
Pros
Flexible work arrangement
Cons
Contracting
Motorola was a excellent place to be employed, from the work place to the people. Each manager took interest in what was best for their employees and listened to what they had to say. They groom you to move forward and care about you and your career. The way they handle work/life balance was one of the greatest benefits of working for Motorola, it made you want to go to work each day knowing that they had your best interest in mind. The hardest thing was watching the company spiral down and the loss of great employees.
Pros
work life balance
Cons
the commute limitations/restrictions
Welcoming fresh without working experience is idle for this organization. employers are friendly. gaining knowledge and experience from motorola is more and worth.

Pros

Cons

Exposure to 6 sigma Project Management added to my exposure to PMP Project Management. Friendly and collaborative group of professionals creating new radio products. Excellent exposure to failure analysis, agency requirements, production of user manuals and repair manuals. Design to manufacturing process of charging systems for portable radio units. Working with engineers and manufacturers both local and foreign to produce products that pass extensive and rigorous testing requirements. Best part of working at Motorola was the environment that encouraged learning. Worst part was the ending of my contract, wish I could still work there.
Pros
Encouraging enviornment
Cons
contract
Company is Ok from the work and technology part of it. The salary and benefits are OK. Not much to expect from the work balance side and the Job-security part of it
I worked on mostly Government projects. It was an amazing place to work and I would have stayed with them if they did not split into two companies. Worked on a number of projects with them
Team focused.
Excellent education opportunities available.
Management stays on top of the best practices, i.e six sigma, top down, 360 reviews...
Mid leve pay, good benefits.
