Pros

The transparent work environment, support from senior leadership and perks are just a few of the best things about working here. Each contributor in the company is treated with respect and given open communication with leadership and senior leadership which is great and unique! We are a tech company and have perks that rival the best tech companies out there. We have free lunch, equity in the company, free T pass to work, cold brew tea, coffee and beer on tap, game rooms, awesome swag and more. Seriously, the perks are great but the reason why you should apply is the people. You will be welcomed in as a Guru the first day you start and you will never look back. It's a fun work environment where your peers will become your friends. You will learn something new every day and will be in awe of the people you work with. Work/ life balance is a real thing at CarGurus. We work incredibly hard, but also take all the time we need to recharge outside of work. Doing this is encouraged and supported by leadership here.

Cons

I genuinely have no complaints about working here. I've worked at 3 different companies and couldn't be happier to have landed at this incredible company.

Pros

My experience interviewing with CarGurus was very warm and conversational. I never felt overwhelmed or uncomfortable. The interview flowed well and I did not feel as if I were being interrogated (I've felt this way during other interviews with other organizations). Instead, I was greeted by my recruiting specialist, given a tour of the office and everything felt very organic. The hiring Managers were very personable and approachable. I was given a fair chance to speak on my skills and the transparency from each manager really stood out to me. They were honest and provided answers to any questions that I had. Everything was presented well and I left the interview very pleased with how the team handled the process. There's a reason why the company is doing so well and I am very excited to grow with CarGurus!

Cons

In all honesty, there's not much to complain about. CarGurus is a very lively, yet productive environment. It's just a great place to be.

Pros

CG offers all the usual benefits that attract workers to Cambridge: game room, catered lunches, beer (and cold brew) on tap, happy hours, company outings, etc, but it also appeals to those more interested in benefits like medical, dental, vision, tuition assistance, matching 401(k), profit sharing (by way of RSUs), etc. And for those looking for a career that's equal parts challenging and rewarding, CarGurus could be a perfect fit. In just a few years, the company has grown from startup with a handful of people in a small office to over 600 people in two beautiful offices in Cambridge. In addition, we have offices in Canada and Dublin, and our service is now running in Germany, Italy, and Spain. Our rapid company growth has required the development of a very efficient career path process.

Cons

EVERY company has issues. Look hard enough and you'll find some things you'd like to change here, too. Overall, the few annoyances we cope with are insignificant in the big picture.
