Pros

Good pay, generous PTO, flexible work hours and ability to work from home, tons of autonomy, lots of stretch opportunities.

Cons

The senior leadership is entirely self serving and driving the company into the ground. They claim but be committed to innovation and growing the company but are solely focused on cutting costs to drive the stock price.

Pros

Great people if you are on the right teams- mainly the few remaining groups that continued the family culture established by the Galvins' in the 1980's and 1990's, which is one of true camaraderie and accomplishment. These last few hold-outs are productive yet keep work fun. The work-life balance is also good.

Cons

The company has turned on itself. Constant headcount reductions and unclear, and often conflicting direction from upper mgmt has reduced morale to an all-time low. Manufacturing is being sold off as well as most of its property. Upper mgmt has incentives to raise the stock price regardless of long-term impact. Rumor is also CEO has a huge parachute to sell the company (which has been up for sale for years). Raises, if provided, are around 2% with benefits continuing to decline and increase in cost (more than the 2% raise). They want to attract "young talent", which is rather unlikely due to lack of raises and benefits- so it is probably just an excuse to eliminate anyone that has experience with a higher salary.

Pros

They have good pay and their benefits has been cut a lot but still are decent. In most positions you are allowed freedom to improvise and try new things and take risk which is great. Most procedures are highly documented and there are a lot of very good experienced professionals with great working ethics. A rookie would learn a lot there.

Cons

Motorola lost the innovation ambition. When CEO Greg Brown took office I thought it was going to be great after the previous parachute CEOs. Boy was I wrong. It has been the worst. Any business unit that doesn't make money he sells it because he doesn't have the skills to make it profitable. Slowly he has destroyed a great company and what remains soon will become part of whomever buys it. So if you go to work there just be aware that you soon will be part of a merge. And Greg will make tons of money with his 3 million plus shares he has. A great motivation for him.
