Sunnyvale, CA

Former Employee – worked at Motorola Mobility full-time for more than a year

ProsThe mobile computing sector is one of the most evolving right now, and with Motorola one is at the heart of that. There are many innovative ideas and great people to work with. New bright, inspiring people coming over from Google. Work with teams at Google interdisciplinarily. The company is evolving fast.

ConsThe company is evolving fast. Many changes in short time frames made me feel lost in the big company and also created a feeling of headlessness.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Sunnyvale, CA

Former Employee – worked at Motorola Mobility as an intern for less than a year

ProsThe people there are really friendly and are always available to help you. The work involved wasn't too time-consuming. You get to help yourself to free snacks and drinks, and the times are pretty flexible. Working with the team was fun and they were supportive

ConsWorked on things that weren't very stimulating, basically looked up how to get a new piece of software to work. Didn't get to code very much.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Motorola Mobility full-time for more than 10 years

ProsThere are extremely intelligent individuals working at Motorola. Every day is a learning experience.

ConsConstant lay-offs and bad management has left Motorola with negligible market share and less than exciting products. Constantly stopping and starting programs. Lots of red tape and political...especially from the Libertyville location

Advice to Senior ManagementDrive innovation. Reward staff that drives to do the right thing. Remove roadblocks and people who are there to better their own future.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
