Pros

Interesting business model. Market Leader in on line

Cons

Don't be fooled by the flood of "sudden" positive comments regarding this company. Look at all reviews to truly determine a trend and understand just why this company is not worth a career move or investment. Executive leadership approached Senior Leaders and requested that they push employees and themselves to write positive comments on this site. Again just another indication of how unethical this company is. Can you imagine being asked/bullied into writing positive comments. If you read carefully it's easy to tell. Some positive comments sound like they were written by Marketing, not employees. Come on Auction.com, have some respect for yourself and your employees. Oh that's right you don't respect or care about your employees. The good news is that at least they are paying attention. Maybe these comments will actually get the leadership team to care...or at least tactically address the situation. Stay away from this company. When your customers, employees and industry don't respect you, then you have obvious things to fix. Still baffled that Google invested. Someone didn't do their homework!

Pros

There are a lot of very talented people working in he tech department. Many are very dedicated and willing to go out of their way to help each other out. Catered lunch is provided 2 times a week from a variety of local places. They also offer flexibility to work from home.

Cons

The number one problem here is the leadership. Not to say there aren’t any good leaders at this company - there are a few - but the majority are unreasonable and lead by emotion. Fire drills can be a daily occurrence depending on how senior leadership is feeling. Data and facts are often cast aside in favor of intuition. Business leaders are not held accountable, the org structure is very complex, political, and difficult to navigate. When product releases draw near, work life balance goes out the window and people are expected to work tirelessly and cast aside personal commitments. They claim to be a scrum organization but the business leaders don’t trust the tech org enough to really allow that then claim the process doesn’t work, though they are regularly the ones responsible for derailing it. Real advancement opportunities are almost non-existent. Pay raises are small, and the bonus program is structured so 55% is tied to Q4 performance - historically the company’s worst quarter each year due to market trends. I could go on but I think you get the picture. Some people thrive here, but its either because they are just like the crazy-making people who run the show, or they are able to put aside notions of making things better and just accept the chaos. Consider carefully and ask lots of specific questions before joining this company.

Great pay, decent hours if your a senior on the team, and great opportunities to travel.

Cons

No room for growth once you reach an Auction Manager.
