Pros

Autobooks is a great opportunity for those just starting out. It allows you to gain experience in different areas, especially with it being a start up you will wear multiple hats. The benefits are good as well as the work from home options. Steve the CEO is amazing, he gives the company life.

Cons

Now onto the cons… but first, look them up on google… since you’ve went to google and did some research and read over the reviews I’m here to say… If you have experience in this industry or any banking of some sort, RUN! They DO NOT listen nor allow you to have a voice. Nothing there makes sense… The leadership team has no idea what’s happening. Steve is amazing but needs to hire stronger leadership to run the different departments. Leadership is way too junior, all the good leaders they let go. Oh yeah, they let go half of the company and kept all the inexperienced employees. Anyone that questioned what the companies purpose was got the boot…. Culture doesn’t exist. When you first get hired you will feel like this is the best company ever because they shower you with gifts, happy hours, tiger games etc… If you don’t fit in their “boy band“ you won’t succeed. The company is very cliquey, feels like highschool. There’s also ZERO job security even before the layoff I’ve witnessed them randomly get rid of 5 people (one person a month it felt like). The company is so small as everyone knows your business and who gets let go. I say all this to say… truly research this company and listen to all the reviews below. Heads up, half of all the good reviews are from current employees, they ask you to leave a review. I could go on and on.. but I will stop here. Again, if you’re just starting out , go for it you’ll learn lots but if you’re more experienced choose another opportunity. Leadership will not allow you to succeed or grow!!

A decent first job in tech

Pros

This is a decent first job in tech where you would at least not pick up too many bad habits in terms of day to day work. Flat organizational structure is good for creating opportunities to advance. The product itself is useful so that is worth getting up in the morning for.

Cons

There is a passive-aggressive company culture where co-workers are kind to your face but talk bad behind your back to supervisors. People who are more established may have trouble adjusting to their way of doing things. Company culture makes it difficult to establish any decent relationship outside of work. I believe a coworker sabotaged my work prior to a release, which ultimately led to me being let go. I was already planning to leave due to not feeling the culture, but that decision was made for me. Regardless of someone rubbing you the wrong way, doing something like says a lot.

Dude! Bro!

Pros

The pay was decent, and they fully support remote work. If you're not one of the dudebros you'll get excluded from anything that's going on, so you won't have to work very hard. Management attempts at morale building provide ample unintentional comedy.

Cons

The code base, the product, the employees and the management can all be described the same way: amateurish and immature. This isn't a real company, it's a bunch of frat boys partying with daddy's credit card and playing fintech startup. Except now Daddy's taken the card away, everyone's hung over, and there's an exam in two hours no one studied for. Okay, this metaphor is getting a bit strained but you see where I'm going with this. The company had serious competence problems before the crisis, and then due to terrible management the company lost its funding and had to lay off half the staff. They fired all the adults who knew what they were doing and gave promotions and inflated titles to whomever was best at dudebro-ing around with the senior dudebros. They're lurching from one Hail Mary project to another trying to keep the company solvent. If you're reading this to decide whether to apply here - don't. This company won't make it to 2024, much less an IPO. If it's a choice between this and, I don't know, eating a basket of Madagascar hissing cockroaches or something, then sure, take the job. But make sure company stock is part of your compensation, because when the inevitable bankruptcy and fire sale happens only the shareholders will get anything.

Reviewer - Apologies you feel this way. 2023 has been a pinnacle year for Autobooks and we will be well positioned for 2024. We have had record TPV growth, a robust pipeline of new FI's and SMB's, and an aligned strategy for the future. See you on the other side!
