High Growth Company - Always finding ways to improve

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

1. People - best in class 2. Product - best in class 3. Culture - result of 1 & 2 4. Upper Management & Leadership - tirelessly working to address employee concerns and quickly make adjustments. Plus, running a successful high - growth company ex. employees wanted 401K matching, we now have 401K matching!

Cons

Fast growth and success creates change which some will embrace and others will resist. A 40 person company operates much different than a 300+ person company. If you want a job that is the same everyday, doesn't challenge you or create growth opportunities, then look elsewhere. If you want to work with highly intelligent people, tackle complex problems and create great solutions, then I would apply to CarGurus.

Pros

There are free lunches everyday. People on the floor are nice. Beer on Tap. Free Snacks.

Cons

People aren't what they seem. Management plays favorites are deceptive. Becoming corporate and process just for process. Few opportunities. Limited leads. No new products that work.
