Pros

The bathrooms are amazingly clean (Schaumburg / Chicago locations). Not sure who they hire to do it, but they do an outstanding job. The CEO is great. He's done an outstanding job in his tenure and the stock has been growing constantly. Great and fair decisions made during the pandemic. Good starting PTO. Other benefits are average for a company this size. Free snacks if you can get in early enough to get them.

Cons

If you get an offer, make sure to negotiate. You may never see a pay raise. I'd regularly talk to people who hadn't received a raise in five or six years, and they thought that was normal. Motorola cares more about its shareholders than its people. There is no reason on earth to not reward employees when your stock is skyrocketing. They keep laying people off. The remaining people are often stuck doing things that they are not skilled to do. They're overworked and stressed because of it. MSI is excellent at suing their competitors and doing M&A. This is a very short-sighted business model and it will probably catch up to them within the next few years. Training is virtually non-existent. Because of the constant layoffs, people horde knowledge there. The new office format has everybody basically sitting on top of each other. Don't expect much space if you even get a desk.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance: The company respects personal time and maintains a healthy, sustainable work environment. Strong and supportive leadership: Management is genuinely invested in employee success and actively encourages upskilling. Opportunities for technical diversification: I joined as a Salesforce CPQ Developer, and leadership supported me in training for MuleSoft alongside my existing role. I am now handling both platforms and built deep expertise in MuleSoft Integration by successfully completing 4 projects. Great career growth: Thanks to the leadership team's encouragement and the opportunities provided, there is a clear, proven path for expanding my technical stack and advancing my career.

Cons

I do not have any cons to report at this time. It has been a great place to work and grow my career.
