Pros

Remote work. But trying to take that away Great co-workers

Cons

-tracking way too many KPI’s -poor managers who are often firing people who are preforming well for no reason -poor product fit Motive use to be a great place but the middle management has been awful and are more concerned about throwing teams under the bus to make themselves look good. I’d recommend going anywhere else as the turnover rate is high and quota is changed every single month. In addition, if you preform well all goals will be changed and you will be punished for going above and beyond. The company is looking to outsource sales to Pakistan and Mexico.

Pros

The people are great. Good direct managers and team members that are all working towards your success.

Cons

Oversees SDR, support & OM lead to lack of quality and constant issues with customers and process. Constant pivots in account books, quotas, and KPIs lead to some AEs getting screwed with bad books, where others hoard good accounts. Inbounds are non existent and are supposed to be distributed on a round robin, but there is no transparency and a select few AEs have a significantly higher amount while others have none.
