Business Outlook
Pros
Technical excellence, innovation, and customer advocacy have long been a hallmark. Lots of great people. Personal Time Off (PTO) policy has remained as a strong competitive benefit.
Cons
During my time at Motorola, the total number of employees went down by over 90%. It was sad to watch. When they froze the pension for long-time participants, it was a huge blow to loyalty and trust. Years of spin-offs, sell-offs, outsourcing, offshoring, benefit takeaways, quarterly layoffs, and continuous reorganization resulted in an atmosphere of fear and loathing. In general, it was a "good job", but you were always in fear you would be next and trying to figure out how to avoid the inevitable.
