Pros

It's a well established company with fairly good benefits, and a solid work culture with good work life balance.

Cons

The technical leadership is way out of their depth. Most of the technical managers at the director level and above are pretty incompetent. They sorta made things work whenever they were developers at motion or managers, and now that technology is advancing past them, they are stumbling around blindly without understanding what they are making decisions about. So all tough or technical decisions get pushed down to the more competent technical employees, or they are not made at all. Leading to a standstill on technical innovation and modernization. It can lead to just a few rockstars in the technical part of the organization carrying all of the weight, and progress and technical quality suffers as a ton of work is going through a small funnel of only a few employees.

Pros

Overall this is a good company to work for. My branch specifically has been great and they work with you on whatever issues you may have. It’s feels more like a little family than a business!

Cons

Training process once hired on needs a little bit of work

Pros

If you're a straight white guy, you'll fit in well.

Cons

Women, people of color, anyone in the LGBTQ spectrum, or just generally good people should stay far away from this place. Under the previous CEO (Tim Breen) this was a good place to work; flexibility, good pay, intelligent decisions from leadership. After Randy Breaux took over it transformed from a company that genuinely seemed to care about its employees to a company that only cared about its profits and enriching the shareholders. Pay completely stagnated (and this was before COVID), management began swapping positions every 6 months, and people started getting laid off left and right. Now, you're lucky if you can get any kind of support from management to better your work environment or see any flexibility whatsoever, and the interpersonal culture at Motion is completely rancid. Managers have best friends on the teams they manage, and actively play favorites with no regard for actual productivity when it comes to career advancement or even just basic support. Leadership will actively tank any projects they didn't come up with because it makes them look like they're making decisions, when most of the time they're just flying and drinking on the company dime (all the while saying they don't have enough money in the budget for raises or incentives).
