Great Founder but probably worst CEO in the Valley - Sales Automile Employee Review

One of the many things I like about Automile is that the hard work and effort you put in is recognized and rewarded. You are a part of a business where you are a key to the success of its future here at Automile. We have snacks, excellent health benefits, coworkers that are second to none and a management team whose care and deep concern for your success is tangible by how they mentor and advocate for and on behalf of you to bring positive changes to fruition, and in how they guide you to see the bigger picture. The management team is always working to be your biggest ally and supporter in all things - a rare gem in the corporate world.

Every company has their own bumps - sometimes it has to do with shifting your focus and view to where the company is headed as well as learning to understand and build a team with types of people you're not use to working with. Aside from that, not many cons.

Automile is a great startup that provides a lot of diverse opportunities to prove your worth. There is a general excitement for the future and coworkers are great. Amazing PTO and Sick day policy with fully paid insurance premiums. Solid product offerings and good support structure. The people are genuinely good and leadership always makes sure you have your needs met. Schedule is flexible enough if you have things you need to do (school, medical, etc.) and they will take care of you when you take care of them. The company has quite a bit of potential for the future and has a solid foundation for long-term growth. Management provides general autonomy over smaller tasks and there is a general family-friendly culture based in trust and accountability. Provides great work environment for self-starters and those who take initiative to get things done. Product offerings are genuinely good and makes it easy to work with and troubleshoot.

As with any startup there are growing pains. Because most things are new, processes are not fully implemented. Existing product feature requests are difficult to implement because of focus on building new features. Because company is also based in Sweden sometimes answers to product questions requires waiting until following day. Product or feature releases happen on the daily but lack of product materials can make customer support challenging and can leave us guessing about how things are supposed to work. Certain administrative decisions can take a while to be put through.
