"MSI has become a hostile work environment."

What do you like about working at Motorola Solutions?

"I used to like a lot of what Motorola Solutions did. The budgets for technology were great at one point in time."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be prepared to work cheaply with little growth in engineering (non-managerial). I rarely see any promotions lately and those who are promoted usually leave after pushing their way up on the corporate ladder. Lots of turnover occurring as future projects are not forthcoming."

What don't you like about working at Motorola Solutions?

"Egotistical and arrogant managers on power trips especially those new to management. Too many managers and too much micromanagement now. No capital for new tech without going through hoops and multiple explanations at various levels and constant justification for every puny expenditure. No merit for many years. High health care costs. No options anymore. No restricted shares anymore. Too much politics and blame game. I cannot trust most of my co-workers. Compressed schedules are not realistic. Inexperienced mid-level managers placed over experienced engineers is killing this company. Flexible work (telecommuting) has been severely restricted or eliminated. Reputation damage and gossiping is rampant with everyone placing the blame on others."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Value your employees or else your business and quality will suffer. Provide more job flexibility and stop cracking the whip all of the time. Give your employees some downtime between projects to explore new technology or patent ideas. Stop compressing your schedules so intensively."
