Press Releases

Redwood City, CA, May 9, 2006/MarketWire/ -- Dealix Corporation, the market expert and leader in automotive Internet marketing services and a division of The Cobalt Group, Inc., announced today that it has been ranked one of the 20 Best Places to Work in the San Francisco Bay Area for its business size category. The study, which surveyed employees from hundreds of companies in the Bay Area, was conducted jointly by the San Francisco Business Times, the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, and the East Bay Business Times in conjunction with Deloitte Consulting LLP.

Mary Huss, publisher of the San Francisco Business Times, commented on what it means for a company to be included on the list: “When such a large percentage of a company’s employees take the time to fill out this survey and provide overwhelmingly positive feedback on their work environment, it speaks volumes about how the company is run and is a testament to its success in building a special relationship with its employees. We’re pleased to see that Dealix has been rated so highly by its employees.”

“Dealix has benefited from an extraordinary track record of success because of the people who contribute to our organization every single day,” said Dealix co-founder and general manager Greg Baszucki. “We’ve always been laser focused on being the No.1 player in our industry, and it’s fantastic to have achieved this status while simultaneously being a place where people enjoy coming to work every day. We are very pleased to be included in this list.”

In 2005, the San Francisco Business Times and the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal also named Dealix Corporation one of the Fastest Growing Companies in the San Francisco Bay Area.
