Pros

Our CEO Langley has always said that growing a company is a marathon, not a sprint. At a lot of companies that is just a line, but having been at CarGurus for a long time that has proven to really be the culture. Engineers do work hard, but the emphasis is getting the job done, not on keeping certain hours or trying to meet arbitrary deadlines. I think this works at CarGurus because my peers are smart and experienced, but not arrogant about it. I can trust that everyone is going to do their job and not be shy about asking or giving help. As we continue to scale and expand internationally there are also plenty of interesting problems left to solve.

Cons

CarGurus is extremely light on management and meetings. Generally, I like that as I'm not a fan of meetings for meetings sake, but sometimes this also translates into a lack of communication about the bigger picture direction of the company. Now that we are settled in our new space, I understand there are plans to have short catch up sessions over catered lunch a couple times a month, so I'm hopeful this will help with this.

Pros

Great perks! The environment is super fun and upbeat. You have a great time working for them and they definitely make you feel appreciated. I would suggest this company to my friends for sure.

Cons

I had an issue with time management. I felt as though I was required to put way more time into the job than I had originally thought. During the slow periods (the winter) it's very tough to hit numbers. They were becoming extremely metrics based.
