Motive reviews

Extremely high turnover, no work-life balance, a lot of politics, very unhealthy work environment, you work 80 hrs a week and still won't be appreciated here. The company is full of unreasonable people who like to push requests without actual technical knowledge. Projects here are rather top-down driven, without actual impact, planning and professionalism. People don't listen to the common sense and resistant to build scalable processes. Discriminative and rude attitude based on the seniority and favoritism. Projects get thrown at you to show off in front of the top, without any baseline for success. Instead of creating scalable processes people drag you back to the manual way of doing things. A lot of micromanagement. Oh, wait, lunch they say? The only reason they provide lunch in the office is that you don't have time for the actual lunch. Meetings are booked over your lunch time. Forget about 1-hour lunch, you don't even get 30 min lunch - isn't this illegal? No wonder people are fainting at work and every other employee has health issues. If you hear anyone say they worked here 9 months or 1 year - at KT it's like cat years. It’s no surprise when people resign within three months after joining. Those who stay over 2 years just have nowhere else to go, so you end up working with incompetent people who have no actual expertise.

The problems start from the CEO on down. Toxic company culture run on fear of losing their job every single day across every single function. Turnover is incredibly high. Senior and mid-senior leaders are hired and then gone in a flash. Senior leadership can't seem to recognize the toll that the constant employee churn takes on morale and workload. Teams are constantly struggling to pick up the slack when employees leave or are let go because there's no plan to backfill. You'll be doing someone else's job – likely something you're not interested in and have no experience doing – a week or two after you've finished onboarding. Teams are short staffed and being tasked with responsibilities way beyond their expertise or job description. They have expectations that people will do three people’s jobs and then get outraged when it isn’t perfect. Folks are stretched thin, ripped apart and treated with disrespect. Hard work is rarely acknowledged. Leadership barks orders and micro-manages. Cross-team leaders are at odds with each other; some disrespectfully in group calls to junior team members and same level. Whiplash in demands from leadership who struggle to define and align what to prioritize. So much flip-flopping. With constantly shifting priorities and changing requests, misalignment across leadership, and being short-staffed, delivery of asks is quickly overlooked and unappreciated. Leadership is quick to desert their reports and blame them for their own lack of management, ability to prioritize and communicate. Look past all the glowing reviews as they are fake. The recruiting team has told me themselves they write the reviews. Look on page 2 and 3 of this company to find out the truth. It has been the same if you look through the reviews for the past several years. Don’t join unless you really need a job. This company will make you feel terrible about yourself.
