Pros

Office space, location, co-workers, pay, upper management, culture, diversity, overall a good job with good spirit and culture. Lenient, understanding

Cons

Sometimes it seems like our direct supervisors want to do as minimal amount of work as possible, which makes our productivity lack.

Pros

I moved to Arizona from NYC and wasn't sure what to expect from the companies in Phoenix. After about five weeks at Carvana, I am really impressed with the culture and the caliber of people working here. "Startup" culture can mean a lot of things, but at Carvana it seems to mean that: -everyone is learning as they go and collaborating to make sure that a variety of perspectives go into decisions -you need to be autonomous; no one is going to hold your hand or ask you if you completed your work. It's important to be a self-starter and rise to challenges -leadership is incredibly smart and (luckily) honest about the ambiguity of the company's future growth. It's evident that the company is doing well and will only get bigger, but the rate of that growth is pretty up in the air and flexible.

Cons

As I mentioned before, you need to be a go-getter to love this environment. If you like to do things rather than talk about doing things, you'll love it here. It's not the right environment for anyone looking to be given praise at the completion of every task, but when you really contribute everyone notices and thanks you for being proactive.

Pros

From the top down there is absolute transparency about what we are and what we are not. I have never felt that we are pulling some trick on customers to make a dollar. The vision from leadership is very clear that we need to do right by our customer. We are changing a consumer market in a way that few can. We are extremely tech forward and enjoy taking risks. When joining this team you quickly realize the amount of projects the business wants to tackle and the number of people it will take to do that. If you can come in and show you can solve problems and get what we are doing you have a ton of places you can grow into.

Cons

We are a startup. This brings with it the uncertainty that many startups have. Priorities can shift rapidly. Work can be tough at times, when you are fighting to beat the competition it sometimes requires long hours and rapid iteration.
