Pros

Great benefits, and the people you work with.

Cons

Pay, Work Volume, Constant change, More emphasis on mistakes versus all the good people are doing everyday. Very little appreciation except novel incentives which more often than not make people feel insulted. Worth 5bn but can’t even pay for a Christmas meal/team day.

Great colleagues but poor pay and cliquey culture

Pros

- Some good benefits - Hard-working colleagues

Cons

- Poor pay & minimal pay increases (no bonuses either, except in the form of company shares that you have to wait for maturity- at which point they are worth practically nothing) - No progression (especially within P&T) - Exclusionary & cliquey culture - Autotrader does not respond well to critical feedback (often just ignoring it altogether and pretending to listen) - Inflexible working arrangement

We completely agree that our hard-working teams are one of the best parts of being here, and we're really glad you value the benefits. Please be assured that we take your comments on board. Feedback has already been helpful in the recent changes we made to our hybrid policy. As Nathan shared at the conference, this flexible approach is a permanent part of how we work.

Pros

A very generous and caring company. They focused on their people and drive innovation in the motor trade and tech sectors. They have great opportunities for development and give you the access and support you need. I feel very lucky to be part of the Autotrader team.

Cons

Sometimes things can be very busy.
