Pros

Solid pay and benefits. Unlimited PTO.

Cons

Strategies and priorities seem to change every week. Constantly in execution mode with no sign of air. Talented leaders and ICs have come and gone in the last 12 months, which tells us that leadership and HR are either hiring the wrong people or hiring the right people, . but not setting them up for success. The CRO and CFO have both stepped down. Motive should feel very lucky that the people who have stayed are still there. I assume majority are hanging on until they find something better. Targets (including enterprise) are not being met across the org, not because people are not working hard enough, but because folks remaining are overworked, underpaid and set up to fail.

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
