Pros

relaxed work environment, work from home, flexible work schedule, friendly

Cons

Medical benefits too expensive and just increased again for 2018, compensation below average with no raises within the department. No promotions unless someone leaves. While the number of paying customers have recently doubled. 22 days PTO sounds like a lot, but when compared to other similar positions in the area, it's nearly half what they offer. There's also some kind of spending hold going on right now. No new equipment purchase, cutbacks on perks like occasionally free lunches/snacks, etc. It's still a good place to work for a while to gain experience, but not a lot of incentive to stay. I'm told this varies by location, so might not apply everywhere.

Honestly, the internship was near-perfect. Nothing negative!

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.

Thanks for your review. We regularly review employee compensation to make sure it is competitive with local market practices in the industries and countries where we operate. Additionally, all Motorola Solutions employees participate in an annual incentive plan or a sales incentive plan. That said, we appreciate your feedback and have made a note of it.
