Best company I ever worked for

Business Outlook

Pros

I Joined CarGurus in February 2019 and I still have the same enthusiasm I had on my first day. You can feel that everyone collaborate towards the same goal in the floor. The company also provide an excellent package in terms of benefit and salary. What sets this environment apart is the rewarding culture, your hard work won't be unnoticed and will always pay off.

Cons

In Dublin we are in the development phase, we are growing. Not everything can be structured at this expansion stage but we move quickly and you see always positive reactions to any challenges.

Pros

- They put their people first. Your health and well-being is put above everything else when it comes down to it. - They will tell you the things you need to hear in order to develop and grow. - Very much give and reward. Work hard, it will get rewarded well. However if you need help, you'll have it in abundance. - Allow for autonomy and trust you to deliver.

Cons

- You're expected to work hard and deliver results. You will get all the support you need but if you're not prepared to make things happen, then it may be challenging. - You must handle difficult conversations well. Both internally and with clients. - Depending on the role, travelling and being away from home can be challenging if you don't have contingencies in place.

Pros

The company really cares about their employees, listens to feedback and takes it seriously and continuously strives for improvement. The people here are great and it's a very fun and welcoming environment. The culture, flexibility and autonomy you're given as well as the benefits/perks can't be beat. The people here really make it what it is and it's the type of co-workers you happily spend time with outside of the office.
