Colloquio
The interview process with the actual team was great and the people I met with were thoughtful, professional, and clearly trying to do good work. Unfortunately, the experience completely changed once it got to the private equity leadership side of the business.
After four rounds of interviews, communication completely stopped with no follow up or closure on the process. The expectation also seemed unrealistic, with an overwhelming focus on AI as the answer to nearly every business problem. It felt less like they wanted experienced operators and more like they expected candidates to magically “prompt engineer” the company into growth and efficiency.
The company operates in a space that absolutely has value in the automotive industry, but the current direction felt disconnected from the realities of dealer relationships, sales execution, and customer success. From my perspective, much of the recent profitability appears tied to significant layoffs rather than sustainable operational improvements.
If you interview here, just be prepared for a long process, very high expectations around AI, and the possibility of little communication afterward.

Colloquio
I had a call with the hiring manager, and the interview felt quite unusual. From the discussion, it appeared that he might not have extensive knowledge of various technologies. I also got the impression that he might be hesitant to hire candidates with significant experience, possibly due to concerns about how it could impact his own position.

I had an initial phone screening with the recruiter. The call was very short, she only asked me a few behavioral questions and nothing about my actual skills or experience.
