Pros

- Unlimited PTO - HSA/FSA - 401k Match - Fairly flexible work schedule - DEIB working on real change - Tons of wonderful, intelligent employees - Many teams are collaborative and supportive - The GTM culture WAS good two years ago - maybe it could shift back?

Cons

This review is my personal opinion. I recommend you read the About section on the company website, check other reviews, and ask plenty of questions to get the full picture before deciding to work with Motus. - Many of the cons of a big, bloated company (red tape, layoffs, difficulty making an impact) — but very few of the benefits (competitive pay, true growth opportunities) - In my view, there’s a disconnect between executives and the day-to-day work that actually drives results. This often leads to unrealistic pipeline goals and frequent turnover that never gets acknowledged - GTM leadership finds a new scapegoat every few weeks instead of addressing the team’s actual problems - Some leaders came across to me as inexperienced and made questionable hiring choices. Roles were often filled with people they knew who, in my experience, added little value, micromanaged to cover gaps in their own skill set, and skated by because they were friendly - Promotions felt few and far between, with limited transparency around how advancement decisions are made - Layoffs happened regularly enough during my time there that it created a constant sense of instability

Thanks for the candid take—and for the time you spent at Motus. We appreciate what you said worked, and we’re taking the rest to heart. We’re leaning into the themes you raised: clearer goals, higher expectations for hiring and managers, more transparent growth/promotion paths, and faster, straighter communication during org changes. We won’t nail it every day, but our bar is a healthy culture and clear paths to do great work. Appreciate your perspective and wishing you the best.

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.
