Motional reviews

Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback. From your review, it’s clear your experience isn’t what we hope for any of our colleagues. Regarding your comments about leadership, our tech, and safety, I respectfully disagree. We have a talented team across all levels, with a deep bench of world-leading robotics, autonomy, and engineering experts. That doesn’t mean we get it right every time -- we have aggressive targets to meet, and testing, learning, and iterating are all part of the development process. Additionally, we have various levels of test coverage ranging from software unit test, to simulation, to full-scale vehicle validation. At each phase, we do a thorough review of the tests results and implement designs and solutions to resolve issues. Safety and careful product testing underpin everything we do. It is, and will remain, a bedrock driver and key aspect of our mission. If there are specific examples you have from your time with us on how we can improve our processes, I’d be open to having a one-on-one conversation to learn more. Again, I'm sorry you were disappointed in your experience here, and I wish you the best for the future. Laura Major Chief Technology Officer

First, I would like to apologize for my delayed response. I want to thank you for taking the time to share your personal experience and feedback. I am very sorry that your time at Motional didn’t meet your expectations As our company rapidly grows, we remain committed to be a trusted partner, a first-rate technology developer, and a great employer. All employee voices are valued and respected, and our HR and leadership team regularly solicit and encourage candid feedback from our colleagues. Because of how quickly we are growing, we have been solving for organizational structure in real time. On the engineering team, we have structured around geography (US and Asia) and functional areas, but as we grow we continue to look for ways to help our team scale effectively. We are also actively working on enhancing collaboration across our teams’ geographical footprints by providing new tools and resources to help facilitate best practice and knowledge sharing. On test coverage, I respectfully disagree. At Motional, we have various levels of test coverage ranging from software unit test, to simulation, to full-scale vehicle validation. At each phase, we do a thorough review of the tests results and implement designs and solutions to resolve issues. Safety and careful product testing underpin everything we do. It is, and will remain, a bedrock driver and key aspect of our mission. If you would like to share more about your experiences, please contact me so we can set up time to talk. Thank you again for your feedback and best of luck in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Laura Major Chief Technology Officer
