Pros

I enjoyed a lot of my time as an employee at Motive. The flexibility of working from home was super nice, and I enjoyed working with my direct team. The benefits are great as well. However, I think all of this can be found at other companies as well.

Cons

Things took a turn a little over a year ago and it hasn't been the same since. There are no clear goals for the team. Culture is dead. Misalignment on every level. Everything is top down, and you're completely blindsided by change. No source of truth for expectations. HR seems nonexistent when you need them- I know at least 4 cases brought to HR about a specific individual that were swept under the rug. If you can, steer clear.

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
