Pros

* Remote work is allowed

Cons

* No holidays are given to the employees. They claim that we can take "unlimited" holidays, but the truth is that you are expected to take 0. * No increments. * Micromanagement * Encouragement of bad working hours

Thank you for leaving your feedback. This is not the experience we want for any of our team members at Motive. We encourage team members to add their work hours to their calendars and block off time for any personal needs. Motive offers a generous PTO policy so you can take time off to spend with family and friends, or for when you need to disconnect. Please reach out to us at opendoor@gomotive.com to help us understand your experience further.

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
