Having an equitable and competitive pay structure is very important to CarGurus and we regularly evaluate our compensation programs to ensure they are aligned with the broader market. In fact, we recently adjusted the pay structure for several positions, including the one to which you are likely referring. Gurus can read about our compensation philosophy and regular benchmarking on our internal wiki page, and discuss any questions with their managers and HRBPs.

Pros

Good WLB, good benefits, not difficult

Cons

Tech stack is old, but being improved. Lots of growing pains and departures post IPO, some teams became real nightmares with leadership. New CTO and management seems to be righting the ship, and cleaned out previously toxic management.
