May Mobility reviews

Senior leadership has been a revolving door - C-level executives come in and out, as do director- and VP-level leaders. With each change comes new approach, emphasis, and priorities and May spends as much time changing tack as it does moving forward. The leadership within the people team at May talk out of both sides of their mouth; in attempting to prepare May for growth they have implemented relatively rigid and frankly weird policies about growth and promotion, not to mention that compensation at May cannot hope to punch with competitors in the AV space. Performance evaluations are improving, but it still seems to take far longer than appropriate to remove or otherwise correct people who are not doing their jobs, putting an even greater burden on those who do perform well. People who do perform at an exceptional level are frequently blocked from promotion for apparently arbitrary reasons. The biggest concerns have to do with funding. May’s technology outperforms many competitors but the company has only been able to raise less than 1/10th of most of its true competitors seems bad. Adding to that is that public transit is based on economics and autonomous vehicles are a long way away from being viable versus traditional transit methods. The outlook doesn’t seem very positive, honestly.

Severely underpays workers Limited promotional opportunities Inability to distinguish contributors and button-pushers
