Neutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Avigilon full-time for more than a year
Pros
Lots of autonomy and ability to make your own schedule. A lot of travel involved. Good base salary.
Cons
Can be isolating to work remotely all the time. Difficult targets to hit and commission percentage goes down as quota goes up year over year so if you don't hit targets you will earn less.
Advice to Management
More of a conversation around quota and target increases with employees would be good.

Pros
If you're project manager you will be manager by three managers under project manager, PM managers manager, PM manager's manager of project manager and V.P devices manager. I know it's confusing
Cons
Managers are seated rooms with glass Windows so it feels always you have been watched.
Advice to Management
Motorola should do something about it. They can't even post job opportunities at B.C. tech website. Most popular site for engineers in Vancouver

Pros
- Good benefits for a tech company - Relatively good pay - Good location and great looking office (Vancouver)
Cons
- Severe amounts of gossip and lack of procedures to cultivate a better work culture - Upper management values favoritism over merit - "Looking good" or optics are more important than doing your job well to the point that jeopardizing other teams is a favorable option - Run like a mum and pop shop even though it's a company of over 2000 employees - Lack proper processes - Lack of proper change management procedures...

Understand the needs of your team and actually try to connect with them. If you see a problem with the culture, fix it instead of trying to conceal it. Good people leave good companies because of their managers.
