      Pros

      Colleagues and managers are welcoming and super supportive, fostering a positive atmosphere. You can work 100% remote if you want. Healthy work-life balance and flexibility, with no micromanagement. Expectations are reasonable, ensuring a manageable workload. Accomplishments are acknowledged and celebrated. There are plenty of opportunities for internal promotion and growth. Regular one-on-one meetings with managers help focus on career growth and personal development. Staff retention is high, with many employees choosing to stay for the long term. Offices are nicely furnished and kept supplied with soft drinks, alcoholic drinks and snacks. There is a weekly complementary lunch available in the Edinburgh office. The company seems stable and resilient. I'm pretty confident that the company will still exist in 10 year's time. Overall, a great place to work if compensation isn't a priority for you.

      Cons

      Salaries are on the low end for Scotland and well below average for the Scottish finance sector. Employer pension contributions are low, close to the legal minimum. Average annual raises are low, just slightly above inflation, and even high performers receive disappointingly low raises. Negotiating or leveraging an external offer to secure a raise doesn’t work at AutoRek. Talented individuals who tried this ended up leaving for much higher salaries elsewhere. Last year’s bonus was very low, a fraction of what it was the year before. Frustratingly, this was due to overall company performance factors that were beyond my department’s control.

      Pros

      Previous CEO was inspiring and there is a hope that current CEO will learn from him. Most of the staff still friendly but may not remain friendly in future. Some staff can get paid without any productive work so good place to work for Idle/dossy people. Some leaders (senior manager, VP etc.) working in AutoRek for 15 years; working same tech and do not know the latest tech, so better if you do not want to improve yourself.

      Cons

      Small company but leaders need to do worst politics to survive and if you are lower position then you will be slaughtered. For Example, Some projects were created by Product Development VP to tackle/play politics with consultant team and no output and cost at least 2-3 people's 2 years. Conflict with Consultant and product development team. Working with old tech and no room for development. Product team has not output and they are always busy and consultants face significant difficulty. Some consultant are trained to lie to the customer. I feel I wasted a lot of time working in this company and my life improves a lot after leaving AutoRek.
