Pros

The company itself has a lot to offer. My opinion is that most people seemed happy in the various departments. I would givears are based on the company, not HR, which would be 1 star.

Cons

The HR department is about 20 people yet everyone is relatively new except for one. People in other departments commented to me a few times that HR had lots of attrition and "they have a problem". Fakery in HR and relational aggression is tolerated. They want to apply HR best practices across the plant and dealership but in reality it is still a personnel department and can´t set the example themselves. There´s a narcisisst/manipulator who thinks they´re a 'spiritual advisor' and who thrives on worship and sympathy from others, managing up and across but kicking down, and.... going places! Everyone else either turns a blind eye and/or facilitates the behaviour.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
