Pros

Great people Lots of activities Decent benefits

Cons

Autosoft is the epitome of "yes men" leadership. Fall in line or be terminated, have a suggestion that doesn't match with senior leadership, terminated. I see a lot of responses regarding "my door is open," talk about a "Venus Flytrap," that will only expedite your exit. For the last few weeks, people are being terminated for made up accusations, not embracing change, not towing the company line. Autosoft fails to understand the essential part of change management; it's called management. Emails, phone calls, and chats are being scrutinized to identify people that may have a difference of opinion. Senior leadership style - Make no decisions and provide no direction, abdicate all responsibility to subordinates, then hold them 100% accountable. It's the "blame game" that starts at the top. "But for the business to be successful, we need motivated and passionate players," the recent departures are not about motivation or passion but because they didn't "kiss the ring" of their boss, which in turn gets you fired, or quit out of frustration over the direction of the company. Employees don't leave their company they leave their managers. Which would explain the high turnover rate? We've stopped asking who but how many gave their notice during any given week. As soon as this get posted, they will either attempt one of three things. Attempt to have it removed, write a comment (fake and funny), or investigate everyone's internet activity, find out who possibly could have written it, and make up a reason to terminate them. I'd care, but I'm already looking for a new job.

Thank you for the feedback. At Autosoft, we've made many changes and improvements in Product and Development, transforming to Agile, strengthening teams, giving individuals an opportunity to spread their wings and advance to new roles, hiring new talent and skills, and preparing for the new product platform launch. Change can be difficult, especially for those who aren't willing to accept change, or understand the company vision and goals. I agree with you, that part of the strengthening of the company is allowing managers and contributors the ability to step up and make decisions, and be accountable for their teams, but also be allowed to make mistakes along the way, learn and grow. We do need the right players, with the right attitudes, passion, and desire to be challenged, and bring ideas and solutions - that's part of our culture. We welcome the feedback and comments because we are a transparent company, and real, constructive criticism makes us all better. Unfortunately, Autosoft isn't a fit for everyone - we've been raising the bar and not everyone has the ability to evolve with the company and expectations. Autosoft has a great culture and has won many Best Place to Work awards because leadership isn't afraid to make changes that are best for the entire company and long-term future. For the handful of individuals who don't agree or aren't happy with the changes, I encourage them to move on to new opportunities, for their own health, happiness and career.
