What's the Company Culture Like at Motive?

Motive Employee Perspectives

People feel comfortable speaking from their hearts, which is hard to achieve on such a large scale. I’m happy that we’ve retained this type of environment as we’ve grown.

Motive’s team supports complex customer relationships through cross-functional collaboration across presales, technical, product, legal, implementation and professional services teams. As the company expands beyond commercial trucking into more industries across the physical economy, employees help customers understand how Motive’s AI- and IoT-powered platform can improve safety, productivity and operations.


“I’ve never had support like what I experience at Motive. It is second to none.”
