Pros

Amazing culture and benefits with a laid back management approach. Continuous career development and great to be a part of a company bringing transparency to a notoriously shady industry.

Cons

In a transition period for the structure of the organization but doing a great job of being transparent with employees.

Great place to work!

Pros

Very tight, team oriented environment with extremely low turnover. Team members are motivated, highly skilled and collaborative by nature. Having such co-workers makes it easy to contribute and pickup new skills.

Cons

Benefits are great in general, but company match on 401k would be a welcomed addition. In it's current state, the code base can be daunting to some engineers, but that's changing with time.

Pros

Work/life balance and employee perks

Cons

My time at CarGurus genuinely gave me PTSD when I moved on to my next job after working for terrible managers with nonexistent team expectations. Communication was awful across the entire department with several very toxic personalities. Would not recommend.
