Pros

The work-life flexibility is quite good, though the unlimited PTO policy means that you will need to be disciplined and make yourself take time off. *Some* aspects of the technology platform are very good. Embracing full-remote work is always nice to see, though obviously if you prefer an office you're probably better off elsewhere. The C-suite management is pretty transparent, though they will naturally try to dress-up bad news.

Cons

I started looking to leave after some less-than-impressive merit salary increases went out. Their pay is definitely only average, and that was the final straw for me. However, the brunt of my dissatisfaction came from the company's management and structure emphasizing project management hierarchy at the expense of all else. My team in particular was well-shielded from crunch, but others weren't so lucky. Quality was an afterthought. Bugs, and even severe security vulnerabilities, would go unaddressed for months or even years. It got to the point where I was asking for certain instructions to come in writing. The product/project management people have no interest in hearing about or addressing these issues, and demand only more feature delivery.

Pros

Honestly, this has been one of the best companies I’ve ever worked for. The WFH setup is great, the benefits are solid, and the work/life balance is real. You’re treated like a professional, and you’re trusted to manage your own desk and get things done. You do need to be good at prioritizing and taking ownership, but if you like that kind of independence, it’s perfect. People are open to feedback too. If you see something that could be better, you can speak up and make suggestions. Overall, just a really great place to work. I genuinely enjoy the people I work with.

Cons

I’d say the salary and bonus structure could be clearer. I don’t always have a good understanding of how those decisions are made, and a little more explanation from leadership would really help.

Pros

The job itself, is easy. Set schedule. PTO and Holidays were generous.

Cons

Leadership issues exist at every level of the organization, from upper management down to frontline supervision. There is very little accountability or advocacy for employees, and local management often seems unwilling or unable to address concerns before they become larger problems. While many of these issues may have existed before Motus took over, the company has done little to improve them and, in many cases, has allowed them to continue unchecked. The workplace culture also suffers from a lack of professionalism. Bullying and disrespectful behavior are often tolerated, creating an environment where negativity spreads rather than being addressed. HR will encourage you to come forward with concerns but having no HR present in the office means you will face social retaliation and whatever professional retaliation leadership can get away with. Employees who consistently work hard and take initiative can feel overlooked, there's no merit in doing a thorough job.
