Pros

My expectations continue to be surpassed every day that I work at CarGurus. This is my first full-time job out of college, and I love it here. I constantly feel supported to learn and ask questions. I love the company culture and work-life balance. I never thought I could love a company so much without even going into the office!

Cons

WFH... but almost all companies are WFH so that is not CG's fault obviously.
