It is one of the best companies out there to work for and most of the people you work with will blow your mind with their talent and passion.

Benefits on the other hand are very good and vacation time is generous. Despite the issues that will be listed in the Cons section, CARFAX continues to remain one of the best but it has some issues it needs to address.
Cons
Often time big issues overwhelm little issues and important processes are ignored in order to get a new product out the door sacrificing quality. CARFAX has grown to the point where there are some talent voids in positions. The company is very flat, do not expect to rapidly grow your career here. The taint of bureaucracy and fiefdoms have crept into the building and it sometimes can be hard to get anything done or get transparency into some departments. The company needs to do more to understand its new products and some of their issues as well as the way they integrate into the product as a whole. Sometimes it seems as though the company is so busy doing something new that it forgets about what it had been doing previously. Be ready to be told, "we are working on that" or "it will be fixed within..." when you bring up issues, and then don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
