Sales at CarGurus

Pros

They have a good product that most of the industry recognizes as valuable, very easy to sell all else being equal.

Cons

Their biggest revenue generating product is now a commodity and they haven't invested in the product development to outpace the impact of that shift, despite now being a publicly-traded company for years now. Their MRR model buries a lot important details about their market opportunity (which they only recently started measuring) and actual growth figures. Because the main revenue driver for this business has just been increasing its core product cost without adding corresponding value to its product, their customers view CarGurus as favorably as they do the Federal government and taxes.

It's nice to hear you are feeling supported and good about our business. Transparency is important at CG and we encourage you to ask your manager, team leader, or HRBP any questions you have. And be sure to attend one of our regular CEO Welcome, Ask Me Anything (WAMA) sessions, too!
