Motorola Reviews

Pros

Nice work environment and facilities. We learn a lot while working which enables us to work for higher level in the hierarchy.

Cons

Sometimes, few issues remain unsolved or are solved temporary in hurry at deadline. Hence, these issues reappear with major issue in future development.

Advice to Senior Management

Management is very good. They are very talented. They encourage juniors to work for higher hierarchy. In that, they help a lot.

Pros

Motorola is all about cutting edge projects, bleeding edge technologies, overwhelming challenges, amazingly experienced engineering staff, and good benefits, comraderie and salary.

Cons

The internal competition and external competition in the marketplace can be intense; it's been that way since the beginning and shows no signs of stopping.

Advice to Senior Management

Motorola will not steadily improve until they appoint a new board of directors that will actually work for the common shareholders and stop rewarding management for making poor decisions.

Pros

Work Life balance is good.
Less micromanagement and plans are flexible and accommodating.
There is free flow of information.
Transparent Management.

Cons

Very few challenging work opportunities, mostly maintenance and trivial feature works.
Trying to create business out of others work with very less own innovation.
Salary is below industry standards.

Pros

It has a great history, it has a good reputation and is a well know place to work. Looks good on the resume

Cons

Very poor management, people are stuck in the past, They live in libertyville for gods sake. Dockers central. Promotions are arbitrary. Your best bet is to leave or threaten to leave to get a promotion. I know people who left and came back 5 times, promoted each time.

Pros

Of all the companies I've worked for, Motorola was far and away the most technically oriented. Advanced engineers, technically oriented managers and was ahead of its time in quality assurance in the development programs. The benefits for pursuing education were also outstanding.

Cons

Never really knew what the upper management was thinking. It was hard to understand how your role fit into the longer term picture of our operations.

Advice to Senior Management

The huge emphasis on 6 Sigma and quality control made it difficult to do some relatively simple tasks at time.

Pros

pros-easy to get work-life balance;

Cons

job security; not easy to move to a new job after layoff

Pros

Enjoyed working with friendly hardworking colleagues

Cons

Hard to feel like you're making a difference in such a large company

Pros

it is one of the good place to work for software engineers in bangalore. they give lot of freedom to their employees to express their views.....

Cons

Motorola marketing is very poor, company's higher management's has no clear vision/road map for the growth of the company for long run.

Pros

dynamic CEO trying to revive the company
great place to do innovative work if you are the star

Cons

Over aggressive commitments, if you are not an engineer you are a second tier employee.
Management only controls cost via employee layoffs... not a good morale booster
Great buy-out agreement with Google, but typical employees benefited far less than CEO's $62M opportunity

Advice to Senior Management

If employees are truly the most important resource, you should be managing cost better to avoid the continual layoffs :(

Pros

Very family friendly
Good benefits
Stress-free environment

Cons

Communicating with senior management
Direction of the department
Easy to get lost and not noticed at all. Senior management only cares abt numbers, not people
