Pros

Big company, abundant resources, Motorola brand (but slowly a dying brand)

Cons

Politics heavily heavily dictate career progress rather than talent. As you getaway from headquarter in Schaumburg, management protect their positions, doesn't utilize qualification and merit to select candidate to fill leadership roles. Instead, they mainly use a game of charade (deception) to make things appear like they are interviewing multiple people to fill a vacancy when internally, they have already given the position to their buddy. I found this to be particularly true in the southeast such as Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Lousiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, etc. As a result, you have lot of deadweights who CANNOT do their jobs but yet earn a hefty salary. Example: on a team of 10 people plus the manager - 4/5 could be deadweights including the manager that the others must carry and work long hours (10-14 hours per day). My advise, if you want to work for Motorola - then go to their headquarter or in the west coast such as California. In general, if you are talented, they will box you into a corner and expects you to be in one position for years because of reasons I explained above. .

Pros

Great engineering tradition. Even as the company withers away, there is great talent. I grew up in that environment, and although I have moved on, I realize I took for granted the talent of the people around me. It's much less outside the walls of Motorola.

Cons

Management. Just like anywhere else. It turns out, people are hard to manage. Unfortunately, through relative performance assessments, layoffs, and other bungling of senior managers, the company is beyond repair. There is no way to move up or work on anything different.
