      Pros

      Lots of side benefits, high salary

      Cons

      No WFH (management will offer in an interview but won't deliver), Lots of legacy code, nearly all of which has a bus factor of 1.

      Thank you for your honest feedback. Sorry to hear about the misalignment on our WFH policy. We have recently updated this policy based on employee feedback; which we hope coupled with our general schedule flexibility allows for healthy work / life balance. We will continue to listen to our employees and assess as our company grows. I also respect your concern about legacy code. As all companies that grow fast, we will always have areas of the code base that need to be refactored or removed. We are constantly taking steps to ensure legacy code does not become a drag on system stability or our ability to roll out products and features. I’d be happy to have an open and honest conversation and hear more about your experiences at CarGurus. Feel free to reach out or stop by my office. - Kyle

      Growing Culture with Toxic Management

      Analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great compensation, innovative technology and business model. I enjoyed my initial entry from applying to speaking to a recruiter, to working with my manager and many other senior managers. Great benefits.

      Cons

      Toxic management, and if you weren't part of the inner circle, you were outcasted and promotions were out the window. I experienced discrimination and unfortunately, I didn't leave the company, I left the people there, from managers on up. Don't expect to be treated well if you aren't part of the 'it' crowd.
