Please don’t do this - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso AUTO1 Group

Operational: only skill you need is excel, which is 60% of all the tasks, the other 35% is google sheet. Basically nothing else. So much for a "tech startup" when you basically just use excel. Technical: not an engineer or product person, all this company cares about is operations aka running the business aka selling and transporting cars. Execution is absolute, which leads to a mountain of technical debt, which they don't seem to care. There is no technology, the internal platform is from early 2000s (company founded in 2012), offers very limited functionalities and has a horrible interface. Because of that, there is no effort in automating anything, everything is fairly manual and data quality is a joke. Sometimes you will be surprised to know there is actually an engineering department here. Cultural: No perks, no sense of community, no pride, no sense of belonging, which the company doesn't seem to care at all. If you are not German, you will not hangout with the Germans, there is no effort of any kind of integration. People seem to just care about their own tasks and would not bother to do anything extra to help anyone else. No one knows how the company is doing, no sense of vision and values. Poor management, managers do not manage and just want things done, no career guidance, no feedback and no room for personal growth. Upper management very egoistic and seems to get off on being rude and hostile to their subordinates.
