Movement Labs Reviews

There was a sea change in late 2023, where many highly paid executives were brought on while productive staff were laid off. Overnight, management tone changed to disrespect and bullying when employees negotiate for salary. Extremely off-the-ball middle management, don't expect the company to follow their own policies about pay, hours worked, and feedback.

There's a culture of arbitrary urgency. Sprints are frequent, even outside of election periods. Requests often come in last minute and with the expectation that you drop everything you're currently working on. Then the work gets held up by layers of approval. Layoffs and reorganizations happen frequently, and internal surveys show morale trending downward. Even outside of restructuring, job descriptions can shift without notice, sometimes fundamentally changing the nature of a role or expanding its scope considerably and without any corresponding adjustment to pay. Raises and promotions are opaque. There is no clear criteria, no timeline, and little explanation, even when employees ask directly.
