I worked at Motorola Mobility

Pros – Motorola is a great technology company albeit it has languished somewhat due to bad management decisions. The company offers its employees a reasonable working environment and good project opportunities. Its a good place for people wanting to have a diverse technical career as there is the option for well performing employees to switch projects/ technology domain and work for another design/development center without having leaving the company and losing their history and seniority.

The company is fair in recognizing performance. Good performers are rewarded both financially as well as with growth opportunities. The annual review process which incorporates a dialog with one's manager each quarter allows for plenty of opportunity for feedback as well as expression of professional interest. Motorola supports employees pursuing higher education it pays for fees and course materials this may have changed recently due to the cost cuts.

Cons – With all the layoffs there is hardly any job security, additionally the salary is mediocre.

There are too many layers of management. At some of the sites there were too many managers not sufficiently technically focused and not performing any useful function. The company focuses too much on irrelevant processes such as digital six sigma.

Advice to Senior Management – Cut layers of middle management not engineers, focus on what you've be good at i.e. innovating. Don't follow bad share holder advice, spinning off Freescale and the making a series of useless small company acquisitions was a blunder. Be more strategic in you thinking.

I worked at Motorola Mobility full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – They had great benefits and very technically driven

Cons – They changed managers so often the direction of the company seemed unknown at any given time.

Advice to Senior Management – Get focus and know what your goals are

Pros – Best part about working with Motorola was it's employee policies. My friends from other companies (including those from Fortune 50 companies) were kind of jealous of me because of the super awesome policies Motorola had. For example 30 paid leaves annually plus 16 sick leaves, business class travel if flight time is more than 5 hours (even if you are a fresher), significantly higher caps on mediclaim expenditures compared to other companies to name a few.

But it more than the policies, it was the culture which made Motorola a great company to work with. Opportunities to grow .. simply outstanding!!! I spent close to 6 years at Motorola and I doubt if I had switched to any other company had I not taken the entrepreneurship route.

In my 6 years tenure I got to work on multiple technologies starting from 2G to 4G and everything in between, working on multiple programming languages and acquired certain skills which I may not have acquired elsewhere.

Cons – Sad to see that Motorola has been broken down to many smaller companies now and the business unit I used to work for has now been acquired by NSN.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Motorola Mobility full-time for more than a year

Pros – Working in Silicon valley you forget to be grateful. But the pros: great pay, free food, work is not bad either with each release there is a new exciting feature to work on. And great people. I loved my co-workers.

Cons – After all you're working for another company, with the weight, the bad decisions, and the direction (to be sold) it is going in. I wish the culture were a little bit more competitive, tighter feature planning, less grunt work & processes.
