Pros

Solera has a handful of managers that are passionate about what they do and try to do it to the best of their ability. They usually use the most up to date technology to provide the best access for their customers.

Cons

I came to Solera via purchasing a company called Identifix over 2 years ago. Identifix had the issue of not seeing itself as a tech company and trying to do things on the cheap. Solera has changed that approach but in the process has created a culture here that can be toxic. After being here for over 2 years and never getting a raise, I started looking for a new job and found one. Management decided they wanted to keep me and asked to match. The counter offer offer came in at 10% below what my new offer came in at. On top of that, when I put in my 2 weeks notice I was informed my pay raise was rescinded. On top of that most of the decisions on how to run the IT side of things are currently being made by the European team that has a different product line that doesn't match what we have in the US. When I think of Solera Management, I think of a bad high school athletic coach. Creating competition for competition sake. No communication comes from the top down and there is times you feel like a man in a boat with no rudder.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

The company has significant issues that make it difficult to recommend as a long-term workplace. HR support is virtually non-existent, leaving employees without meaningful assistance when concerns arise. Favoritism appears to influence decisions more than performance or merit, creating an unfair work environment. There are very few opportunities for career growth, and many employees find themselves in stagnant roles with little chance for advancement. Even when employees consistently exceed expectations and earn recognition, raises are infrequent or nonexistent, making it difficult to feel valued for hard work. Additionally, there is a noticeable lack of professionalism at the management level. Communication, accountability, and leadership standards need significant improvement. Overall, the company would benefit from investing in stronger leadership, a more effective HR department, and a culture that rewards performance fairly.
