Fun collegiate work environment in beautiful Santa Barbara!
|
Work was manual intensive and monotonous.

Mostly good people, but terrible management
|
|
Full fridge of snacks & free lunches every Wednesday. Fantastic view of the ocean from the brand new office in Santa Monica
|
Management. Is there any C-level management left at this place? No one knows who is in charge or if their job is ever safe. Fear of layoffs affect every department. This is a good reason why the stock price has dropped 70% in just a few months.

Decent Company trying new things
|
|
Decent pay, great health benefits, people are nice, get to see cool cars, full kitchen, nice people, great location, quiet atmosphere, casual dress code
|
Technologically outdated, lack of communication between upper and lower management, office is oddly arranged,

Amazing Automotive Company, Atrocious Salary
|
|
- Young, vibrant, passionate culture
- Start-up vibe but 50 years of stable profitability
- If you love cars, you'd probably love ALG
- If you're an executive, popular among the execs, or you actually set residual values, access to fantastic fleet of evaluation vehicles
- Benchmark of its niche
- Unrivalled exposure to almost every OEM's executives, product porfolio, and future strategy
- Some enjoyable travel opportunities
- Santa Barbara is a slice of heaven
- Casual dress code
- Good benefits
- Decent opportunity for career growth
|
- Barely liveable compensation
- Santa Barbara cost of living
- Last-minute changes handed down at the drop of a hat, lacking proper vetting/testing/consideration of all probable consequences
- Inefficient, ancient processes--smarter clients are losing confidence
- Learning curve is steep due to hoardes of tribal knowledge
- New parent company TrueCar is a rollercoaster ride
- Editorial and Technology groups have work/life balances which favor the former, whereas most other groups favor the latter. Compensation, though, doesn't reflect that fact
- Performance review process is a popularity contest judged by those more senior than you

- Drastically increase salaries, raise morale and curb the rampant turnover (25%+!!). Right now, ALG doesn't even exist in most employees' honest 5-year career plans
- Add beaurocratic checks and balances to prevent rash decisionmaking
- Recruit more intelligent people (top-20 college grads, PhDs, MBAs)
- Create transparent, evidence-supported performance reviews
- Improve existing profit margins before even considering risky growth

Established small company with a startup vibe.
|
|
Freedom, flexibility, and fun. We do some interesting stuff, and within our industry we are very well respected. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment when you hear the companies name in advertisements and you can say, “hey, I helped build that”.
|
Big decisions can come down at a moments notice, so if you’re a planner you might be caught off guard. If you can roll with it though then you’ll be fine.

Keep up the good work. Don’t forget to give regular feedback, good or bad, employees like to know how they're doing. Communication is key.
