Why you want to work there

Schaumburg, Ill.-based Motorola Solutions sees its IT group as a catalyst in its effort to transform from a device company to a provider of communications solutions and services provider -- a shift that gives IT staffers unique opportunities to experiment with mobile, digital, cloud and big data applications. Hackathons, ice cream socials, an on-site carnival and holiday events build camaraderie. In 2016, IT will relocate to new corporate headquarters in downtown Chicago, with collaborative work spaces and easy access to public transportation.
