Pros

Competitive Salary Great Benefits Talented workforce Incredible leadership team In what was a challenging year for everyone I couldn't have been happier to spend mine at CarGurus. They were incredibly supportive and understanding of the challenges faced outside of the work place. They have a genuine desire to create a work/life balance. Like most Account Executive roles you get out of this role what you put in. A willingness to dig in is required to succeed here. The leadership team don't feel like scary "powers that be" there is a sence that they are equally as part of the team as you are. One manager in particular was the best I've ever had in all my years of employment. He had an incredible way of approaching any situation and an ability to execute well thought out strategies to overcome them.

Cons

A slight hint of favouritism No target reduction for leave/ time missed
