Pros

Remote work is the only perk

Cons

They have on call for engineers, which is rotated weekly basis. If you are on call its 24 hrs shift. for that entire week. One weeek every month, no proper sleep on top of that they expect you to work 12-15 hours normally. If you are india, there is tech stack is not used by many companies in India so difficult when switching. US employee enjoy better work balance compared to india and pakistan at motive

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.
