Cox Automotive reviews

Poor management at all levels. Upper management changed all most every year. No clear direction, very poor communication, says one thing and does another, cares only about revenue and not the customer or the employee.

The engineering culture is pretty weird; while the delivery model is agile, there is still quite a bit of top-down control and not a lot of ownership from teams, which has the effect you might expect on teams' sense of ownership of their product and ownership of quality. Quite a bit of churn in upper management ranks, and possibly the poorest change management / communication I've ever seen in 20 years in the industry. This is also a company that values the hands-on tactical far more than the strategic - very focused on getting stuff out the door, but not nearly enough focus on what the right things might actually be. Coding skills are valued above all else - if you're not a coder, you won't progress, and the organization has a hard time recognizing and handling 'people issues' and process issues. Until leadership gets a more balanced view of what's important and who their stakeholders are, things are going to stay weird.
