Pros
✅ Fast-Paced Environment: If you thrive in high-pressure, fast-moving environments, Moove will stretch you. Things change daily, which means you’ll never be bored. ✅ Ownership from Day One: You’re given full ownership of your portfolio. Autonomy is high, which can be empowering for self-starters. The expectation is that you figure things out and get it done. ✅ Access to Decision-Makers: The org structure is relatively flat, which allows for direct access to senior leaders and quick decision- making.
Cons
Having been part of the management team, I must admit — maybe I was part of the problem. I tried. I fought many battles. But at some point, the weight of chaos & disorder becomes too much for one person to push against. In my 20-year career across multiple industries and countries, Moove stands out as the most dysfunctional, disorganised, and morally disorienting company I’ve ever encountered. ❌ Reactive Leadership, No Strategic Clarity Leadership acts on impulse. Strategy changes weekly based on what someone “feels” instead of actual data. Planning is a joke. ❌ Zero Respect for Expertise Professionals are ignored in favor of gut decisions. Don’t expect support or investment. Just magic results. ❌ Resource Starvation You’ll be asked to build skyscrapers with sticks and glue, then blamed when it collapses. ❌ Broken Collaboration Departments operate in total silos. Ops doesn’t talk to Tech, Tech doesn’t talk to Sales. Duplication and inefficiency run rampant. ❌ Chronic Burnout Culture Hard work isn’t rewarded. It’s expected — endlessly. No boundaries. No work-life balance. Just burnout. ❌ Below Market Salaries If you're thinking the compensation makes up for the chaos — think again. Moove pays well below market. Salaries are modest at best, insultingly low at worst. Don’t expect to be paid enough to justify the stress, the instability, or the emotional toll. You’ll work hard, absorb pressure from all sides, and walk away wondering if it was ever worth it. Spoiler: it’s not. ❌ Toxic Culture: Backstabbing as a Sport Watch your back. And then watch it again. Trust is in short supply. I’ve personally witnessed and heard from employees in different cities who all use the same word to describe HR staff: serpents. Employees will sabotage others to climb or survive. HR won’t just allow it — they’ll weaponize it. I’ve seen careers derailed over gossip, teams decimated over internal politics, and people thrown under the bus by the very people hired to support them. ❌ Life on WhatsApp: The 20-Hour Workday “I am not exaggerating — messages start at 5AM and don’t stop until 1AM.” Moove doesn’t operate through proper work systems. It runs on WhatsApp. Need HR? WhatsApp. Planning a company-wide initiative? WhatsApp group. Want to cancel a company event that’s been in planning for 2 months? Yes — also WhatsApp. (That happened. An Easter lunch for staff was axed in a group chat. No explanation.) Your personal phone becomes a corporate leash. You're "on-call" every hour of the day. You’ll be messaged on Saturday and Sundays at 7AM like it's normal. There’s no concept of off-hours. Having met the founders, Ladi Delano and Jide Odunsi, I can say this: they are memorable and charming. Ladi is the quintessential showman — all charm, handshakes, and wide smiles. Jide, his quiet counterpart, carries the air of a man calculating ten moves ahead. Together, they make quite the pair — charismatic on the surface, but utterly disconnected from the soul of the company they lead. At Moove, profit isn’t just king — it’s the only deity that gets worshipped. Here's a telling example of the dysfunction: salaries at Moove are paid like clockwork. Everything else? Chaos. Suppliers, no matter how critical, often go unpaid for months, two, sometimes three months. Vendors have been known to down tools mid-project, vanishing until someone at the top decides to pay them. From what I’ve gathered, it's a game of executive roulette — if the CFO or CEO doesn't get around to approving your invoice, you’ll be waiting another two weeks. No explanations. No apologies. Just silence. If I had one piece of advice for the leadership, it would be this: Stop performing for investors and start leading your people. Because under the surface of the glossy decks and expansion headlines is a company bleeding talent. The execs they favor are cut from a cold cloth — hyper-focused on “results,” indifferent to human cost. One such hire, a textbook corporate axe-man, wiped out 8 roles in his very first month. No consultation. No notice. Just a swift, surgical purge. It’s not an isolated incident — it’s the playbook. You’d think that with Uber as Moove’s biggest investor, the two companies would have a thriving, synergistic partnership. In reality, the relationship is icy at best. Moove staff are explicitly instructed not to engage Uber. The directive is clear: keep your distance. It's a bizarre stance.
