My role has grown as my experience has grown, I'm continuously encouraged by my team lead to make sure I'm being challenged and growing. I sit in the data team and switch predominantly between helping ensure our tracking across the business is stable and consistent, and with helping to create and extend our data pipelines to make data available for the entire company.

Pros and cons of working at carsales

Pros

  • Great Culture (fun, relaxed, enjoyable). Approachable Management Growth opportunities.

  • The supportive and motivating culture

  • The work culture and ability to have a real impact on how the business operates (working on solutions that positively impact stakeholders).

  • Everyone is so supportive and passionate about what they do! Everyone loves to help, no one has ever made me feel silly for asking a question or not understanding.

  • A lot of exposure to different areas and teams in the business, can work with a lot of technologies and the culture here is amazing!

Cons

    • Not having as much flexibility in having rest days. For example, many other companies are allowing employees to take a rest day each month, while others are allowing staff to take off a day every week or fortnight. This would help individuals with family commitments or just getting things done (e.g. servicing car, appointments, etc.).

    • Sometimes, things are a little bit slow as there are a lot of things that go through higher ups.
