Pros

Not a lot of Pros to talk about

Cons

Upper Management doesn't really care about their employees. RIF's happen on a monthly basis, even to the newer employees just out of training. When it comes to talking to your prospects, so many people in the upper management want to be part of the calls and meetings. Normally, this is good for business, but when they tell the clients different pricing than what you have already discussed, the clients turn to competitors for better pricing and service. There have been 2 rounds of layoffs within the last year alone. Upper management needs to stay in their lane and let the sales people do their jobs without interfering on every deal and every meeting. Very toxic place to work and meetings get changed at all hours of the night and even at 2 or 3 in the morning. Stay away if you can. Look at other places to work.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Unfortunately, we had to adjust our strategy to align with shifting markets. Our level of investment has to align with the addressable opportunity, which means we’ve unfortunately had to scale back in areas with low growth forecasts within the business. For employees that these changes have impacted, we’ve started a Motive Alumni Directory for affected employees to opt-in to share their personal contact information and areas of expertise to help get in front of employers who are hiring. Motive is here as a resource, so please don't hesitate to contact us at opendoor@gomotive.com to share additional thoughts and feedback.

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.
