Pros

Perks are as good as you're gonna get and you cannot beat the location. SOME of the employees want nothing more than you to succeed and grow WITH the company.

Cons

Very political. Must be on the good side of certain people regardless of your work ethic/capabilities. It was mentioned before being hired that transitioning from one team to another is very easy if desired yet when that option was sought after, it was not taken to kindly.

Pros

Food (However as of recently they cut this back) Location (If you live in or around the Santa Monica area) Compensation (The pay is well however it is Santa Monica) Benefits (I'd say above average benefits)

Cons

Where do I began. I think I'll just list things out in order so you have a clear idea of what you may be stepping in. - Pending the department growth is a possibility along with work-life balance. However lets be clear and growth is almost dependent on how many hours you are around. From what I've seen promotions normally were awarded based on basically living there with the managers. There are an extreme and I mean "EXTREME" amount of politics at this corporation. It doesn't matter if you work in tech, finance, HR, accounting or the dealership team. They promote there "friends" from within so let's keep this clear. - To reiterate, work-life balance just plain doesn't exist and it's even more extreme for tech, finance and accounting. Turnover has been literally unreal in those areas and the employees who've worked in those areas literally run out of that place whenever they can. - Management - There are a few very good managers in almost all areas so if you happen to work under a good one then congratulations. When I say few you probably can count them on 1 hand, let's put it that way.

Pros

Great location. Excellent internal technical support team

Cons

Horrible leadership, lack of vision, broken promises, rock-bottom morale across the organization. This car company carefully preserves the "bait-and-switch" mentality that prevails in the automotive industry; once you arrive on site, you realize that you bought a lemon.
