Its a really terrible culture. Leaders are outright disrespectful and will verbally admonish people in large meetings. I cannot believe HR hasn't intervened, its truly a huge liability. Leaders will make demands, massively underestimate the work involved, and then have complete amnesia when everything they were warned about comes to fruition.
Zero career growth. Its not uncommon for people to sit at the same level for 5 years. They'll claim that theres lots of room for growth within those levels. If you think that means you'll get big raises, you would be wrong. The performance management cycle is so mismanaged, they've outright skipped cycles and try to gaslight everyone into acting like they were just "pushed back". The raises you get are an absolute joke and far below inflation rates. Even raises when you get a promotion are laughable, less than 10%. Not to mention they just reduced the healthcare coverage and tried to hide it, acting like nothings changed.
People leadership is awful. There are some really terrible managers and leaders at the company that stay in their positions because the company does not value good people leaders. Your Voice Matters surveys have zero impact on the evaluation of the leader. The company flat out does not care if leaders are making their teams miserable, and they enable the abuse to continue.
Lastly, if you are a woman, I seriously deter you from joining motive. The company is extremely sexist. You will not be the exception. Woman are treated horribly, disregarded, and disrespected. The worst part is that they have heard this feedback over and over and they DO NOT CARE. There have not even been any empty gestures to pretend as if this is something they care about. Leadership continues to proudly post out photos of the all-male 15 person leadership meetings, not even giving a thought to how bad it looks. Hearing women from across the company share similar stories of mistreatment is so disappointing. This is a company wide issue that they have zero desire to fix.
I urge anyone who is considering joining Motive to reconsider. If you have other options, I encourage you to go with those.
