      Leadership is lost, accountability is nonexistent, and fear drives the culture.

      Pros

      I started during the KeepTruckin days and went through a lot of changes with this company. Many layoff periods, hiring freezes, goal switching, etc. One thing that is clear is that Motive runs as a meritocracy -- if you're good at your job, you'll be promoted, get a significant raise, get more shares, etc. If you're bad, you get the axe. Good benefits, and some A1 people who work here.

      Cons

      Motive has been saying they're going to IPO for over four years. Leadership always puts the delay on macroeconomic conditions, but when you look closer, it’s clear there’s a lot more going on internally. I’ve seen plenty of people get fired the day before their equity was set to vest. People here live in constant fear of being let go every quarter. There’s no real transparency, and honestly, it feels like no one at the top knows what the hell they’re doing. The remote work situation is even more frustrating. I’d estimate 80% of employees don’t actually do anything—they stay “green,” keep their cameras off in meetings, and ride it out. It’s blatant. Meanwhile, the remaining 20% are keeping the company afloat, burning out trying to pick up the slack. Not sure if this is common across tech right now, but Motive leadership either needs to bring people back to the office or finally start holding people accountable. The current model isn’t sustainable.
