LIBRARY Vault Guide to the Top Telecom Employers Motorola, Inc. with the somewhat hands-off approach the company took with those in the trenches I was in a relatively small unit and it was very entrepreneurial, but since the company is SO big and we had sales teams all over the world, you always had the feeling of working for a small company." Another aspect of Motorola this contact appreciated was that although there are a number of sales teams all trying to sign up new clients, as part of a big company, it was a very cooperative environment. One drawback, according to another contact, is that many units in the company tend to have a fairly large percentage of long-time employees who were not as dynamic as younger, or newer employees. "There's this unwritten '10-year' policy where after 10 years at the company, you really can't get fired unless you do something drastic. They just don't fire you after that, instead, if there's problem they try to relocate you in the company." Regardless of this, this contact admitted that their relationship with managers was very open door, they were always open to suggestions. VAULT CAREER LIBRARY © 2005 Vault Inc.
