Motorola Solutions reviews

The excellent pay is required to keep what talent they can. Motorola does not respect engineering talent. They do respect an incompetent middle management and a vastly over rated upper management. The company has gone from 160k a decade ago to a tenth of that size, yet the management salaries are the same. Motorola has made a series of missteps in recent years (Iridium, Aspira, missing the digital telecom revolution, building the Harvard Plant... many, many others. This was due to a lack of strategic management and a belief Brownian Motion (pun intended) will create a new product every time an old drops. If this did work Management would be unnecessary. As it does not, the current management should be replaced with innovators and visionaries. Motorola also has a bizarre review process that alone is a reason to avoid this company.

Terrible work culture. The management caters to the lowest common denominator. No one is held accountable when they don't fill the responsibilities of their role, it is just passed onto the one or two people on the team who actually work. Despite a record breaking quarter and the CEO making over 30 million dollars last year, the rest of the company was told they would get zero merit increase for now (until and undecided date) and that 401k would not be fulfilled for at least 7 months, but after 7 months they will determine if it will go longer. Frequently, people are promoted and paid under the pay range for that position and then when (and if) merit increases happen, the MERIT increase is given to people out of range instead of being based on performances.
