Pros

Work colleagues are easy to get along with and they are always willing to help on any issue or question you may have.

Cons

-High expectations of work performance for little reward and less and less free time is offered to you to do your main job while extra responsibilities get piled on you in the process. You repeatedly get told you should be able to balance all those extra responsibilities with no conceivable way of having enough time in a work day to do so -Heavy micro-management and increase in employee scrutiny

Pros

If your career goal is to be stuck in a position, where you perform the same mundane tasks every day, tackle the same fundamental problems both internally, and externally with your customers without resolution, advancement, being valued, trusted, or encouraged to grow, then this place is for you.

Cons

You will perform the same mundane tasks every day, tackle the same fundamental problems both internally, and externally with your customers without resolution, advancement, being valued, trusted, or encouraged to grow.

Pros

Parent company Cox Automotive seems to care for employees by offering health care, retirement, volunteering opportunities, etc. Company has a nice concept...similar to other's in the industry...and nice tools to accomplish work. Workplace design and behavior is geared toward college crowd...overall nice facility in Austin, TX.

Cons

Trust that creepy feeling you get during the interview process, which is more like an inquisition...Lots of secret meetings, unqualified management, cronyism, and juvenile behavior. Promotion of favorites over qualified is common. Company is trying to be 100% Agile, which is distracting focus from core goals of producing and enhancing existing products. Touted Full Stack developer environment with developers working in areas without any prior exposure. Company is more focused on developing new products than supporting the products already on the shelves...customer complaints are numerous and very vocal. Surprised the parent company tolerates the behavior...maybe planning to spinoff.

Thank you for your feedback and review. We are pleased to learn you enjoyed the office environment and resources available to employees in Austin. As a company that holds the well-being of our employees in the highest regard, we value all feedback as we continue to improve our team’s experience. With that said, we’d like to take a moment and address some of your concerns. While we are disappointed that your personal experience was not consistent with the type of environment vAuto strives to provide to all of our employees, our culture is not for everyone. Company leadership oversees a lot of moving parts that affect the company as a whole. Therefore, routine meetings with leadership from other departments is necessary to develop the proper course of action. We make transparency a priority and the results of these meetings are always made available to the entire vAuto team as soon as possible. As a provider of innovative solutions for our clients, we continue to provide the best support possible for all products. However, we also realize the demanding environment our clients face every day. As a result, we must continually strike a balance as we support current products and develop better alternatives to meet our clients’ ever-evolving needs. With a client roster of more than 7,000 dealers, we occasionally receive concerns and use this feedback to make our company and products better. We do not view this feedback negatively, but as an opportunity for growth. This is how we have become a leader in our category and why Cox Automotive gives us the autonomy needed for us to be successful and serve our clients. Again thank you for your service and taking time to review your experience. We wish you and your career continued success.
