Needs a Leadership change especially for the Technical Side and Testing/Operations.

Pros

Before becoming Motional there used to be lot of learning opportunities and some sensibility in the leadership.

Cons

After becoming Motional too many politics have pushed the tech backwards and the CTO really needs to understand the ground truth as there are lot of middle men who are giving a false impression on the performance and safety.

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

Pros

Good to learn AV technology

Cons

Very poor management. If you know how to talk then you can go to very high position. No values to your technical expertise

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, even though it's not what we hope to hear. I'm sorry your time at Motional wasn't a positive experience -- and I'm glad it's not the norm. I can assure you that both I and the entire management team very much value the technical expertise of our employees, and strive to give colleagues the freedom they need to take ownership of their work and excel in their roles. While your time with us may have ended, I’d be happy to speak with you directly to learn more about how we could have improved your experience. If you would like to share more, please contact me so we can set up time to talk. Best of luck in your career, Laura Major Chief Technology Officer

There is no transparency in promotion system. Not proper growth. It’s disappointing to see deserving professionals not getting timely and fair promotions

Thank you for your review. At Motional, we treat career progression as an ongoing conversation through regular one-on-one conversations and twice-annual formal reviews. We base promotions on a number of factors and criteria including role scope, impact, individual performance, and level of experience -- as outlined in our career framework. We frequently promote from within, and have worked hard to make sure our process is transparent and clearly defined. I’m sorry to hear you weren’t clear on our promotion process during your time at Motional and hope this helps clear up any lingering questions you might have had. Wishing you the best of luck in your career. Marcia Long Head of Total Rewards
