Pros

I have worked at Motors.co.uk for 5 and a half years. During this time I have always felt supported both professionally and also during some difficult personal challenges at home. Very open door attitude from management and all employees work together in one big room, including the MD. Everyone mucks in to get the job done and you never hear 'thats not in my job description' muttered from anyone.

Cons

The only downsides I can think of are slight lack of budget, meaning some members can feel a little stretched at times. This is rewarded however and all good workers are made to feel appreciated. The office could do with being closer to my house!! But that's my problem.

Pros

A small dev team made up of talented, passionate people with a focus on solving customers' problems with technology. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and highly collaborative. Most importantly, the business implicitly trust the dev team, if we have a great idea they'll let us run with it, but equally if we tell them that something they want to implement isn't a good idea we know that will always be taken on board. It's very apparent that the company works hard to make Motors a great place to work - and Motors has come on in leaps and bounds in all areas from where they were a few years ago. The business are also extremely transparent, if you have a question for anybody within the organisation they'll always offer an open, honest answer. It's not perfect, but I wouldn't be here if I didn't genuinely enjoy working for Motors and have faith in our ability to evolve, iterate and continue to deliver.

Cons

Location isn't all that exciting (good transport links tho), and the office isn't particularly glamorous. Dev team could be more diverse, and some devs seem to be put off coming here because we're outside the conventional tech hubs. Not allowed to wear shorts :(

Pros

Great leadership and vision for the future of Automotive. Excellent benefits, pay and work life balance. This company will invest in you and your career.

Cons

All big companies have their challenges. They are few and far between at Cox Automotive. The hardest endeavor currently is integrating the companies and products. However, I feel they are on the right path in an efficient manner.
