carsales Reviews

It is hard for me to comment, I feel as though most career progression here is self driven. I have noticed some of my colleagues are subtly encouraging me to step up and offer solutions more. Managers are very open to discuss that progression process and have chats about what we need in order to step up though. As a company I do get the feel that they are quite loyal to its employees and if senior leaders leave they do like to try and fill the gap with someone who knows the business and the team if possible.

As a tech company we don't greatly impact the environment as a whole, but we do have the opportunity to volunteer as part of our work time.

My favourite thing about carsales has always been the culture. From being an intern and now a graduate, I have a great appreciation for how well suited carsales are for juniors. The best way to grow and improve your skills is to step outside your comfort zone and to be challenged but for it to be successful you also need to feel supported. Carsales provides the challenge and encouragement as well as the support along the way. They have done a superb job of hiring people that fit the culture, every time I work with someone new I am always shocked by how supportive, genuine and passionate these people are. These people are what have taught me to love being challenged. Fear of failure is non-existent here; if we fail, we learn from it and take those learnings with us to create success. We also love our Friday lunches, lunchtime running groups or HIIT on the oval.

The flexible working hours would make it a great environment for parents, particularly women returning to the workforce that may still have to bear the brunt of children caring duties. On top of this they offer leave for secondary carers which helps to encourage a more even divide of caring duties in families. They do have a wonderful women in tech group as well that focuses on trying to encourage women to stay in tech, improve their skills and move up the ranks. The tech team is very diverse in terms of ethnicity. They do put a lot of effort into encouraging women and girls into tech as well.

Immersed into different rotations within the graduate program with real responsibility. For example, as a product manager, I have owned and launched my own products and features on the website.

carsales has a good management system that allows you to interact with management at all levels. Employees are often informed of changes in the business through various internal communication methods.

Just had a refurb which has brightened up the spaces. Desks are ample in size, we have a caddy to store our stuff in, the opportunity for a standing desk if you have any injuries or are prone to poor posture. We also have new shower facilities in our basement with towel services which make it a lot easier if you like to get some exercise in during lunchtimes.

There is a one day event that takes most of the day, it has a little intro activity and 3 rounds of activities being: group/teamwork activity, solo presentation and solo interview (non-technical)

Around average pay for the role.

Formal training programs throughout the year and opportunities to sit with your manager and talk about what areas you'd like to develop and how - then actually do it.

carsales is flexible in the times you start and finish. You generally have the choice to decide when you want to start and finish your working day (within reason).

As a tech company we don't have a great impact physically, but we're aware of our footprint and use alternatives to reduce waste and recycle properly across the entire business.
