CarGurus reviews

I've been at CarGurus for 3 years now and appreciate it more each year. Leadership puts a lot of thought and care into the decisions they make and it shows in the policies and perks (pretty generous IMO), and how they manage change (respectfully, transparently). The Boston office has sweet amenities and views that make being on-site truly enjoyable. People are genuinely nice and helpful, and a steady stream of events gives folks a chance to meet. Because of these (and some pretty fun/active Slack channels), I have a strong network well beyond my own team. I was initially concerned I'd have to be a "car person" to work here but that is not true at all. Though I have come to understand and respect the "business" of cars in my time with CG, it is definitely a tech company first, and being smart, collaborative, engaged, etc. is way more important than the car thing (though there are some car people too, and they are super helpful if you have a repair or purchase question related to your own car)

- Priorities are set intentionally which is far from the early start up mindset of "everything is a priority" - You can room to experiment with new technology through dedicated quarterly days - When there are complaints, it seems like generally management tries to address them in good faith - Really great and thoughtful group of engineers with particularly strong DevX and Platform teams that really remove roadblocks in the development/deploy processes - Heavy investment in tooling for engineers - There are lot of great benefits like catered lunches, a coffee bar, and a mix of cash and stock bonuses based on performance. There are a number of perks that I've never had in other companies and I'm constantly still discovering new perks
