Pros

CarGurus is my 4th Employer and 3rd tech company I've worked for in Boston. I can say without a doubt that CarGurus goes above and beyond in almost every way, particularly in terms of how people are treated (employee recognition, career opportunities, benefits, perks, office space, etc). I feel secure in my job and feel like I'm learning every day. I am also very excited about the long-term business outlook of the company... CarGurus is profitable, publicly traded, the most financially healthy company I've had the chance to work for... and since every employee has a stake in the company, that stuff really matters!

Cons

Sometimes messaging from the C suite downwards can be unclear (or just limited altogether) but I also feel like the executives have heard that feedback and are taking action to make it better.

Pros

No pros apart benefits but prepare yourself to deal with a company without clear plans

Cons

I wouldn't expect NO STRATEGY AT ALL in a 4$ billion public company. Product tests have been run in a really poor way and there is NO INNOVATION in Europe about what they do. In 2020 it's hard to think a public company doesn't have tools to compete in different markets (ex. Apps IoS or Android, labels for specific car research,etc). For this reason is incredibly difficult to manage customers, achieve targets requested without be competitive on the markets above all if we add the poor management to deal with these situations. Another important point regards people don't take in consideration suggestions given by teams and employees.  Useless all the meetings to improve processes inside the company because there is NO LISTENING at all.
