Business Outlook
Pros
Excellent pay, cool location, lots of snacks. Some great guys on the development team, and a few good tech leads. CTO is very accesible and is always willing to sit down and discuss ideas with line-level employees and managers alike.
Cons
The absence of a solid product/development process and overall sense of direction contributes to developers being in near-constant "crunch" mode. Company's culture glorifies and reinforces this behavior; TrueCar veterans boast about the number of hours they've put in during crunches, and management lays on the praise for those who've sacrificed their social/family lives for the company. Not an easy company to work for if you've any desire to maintain a healthy work/life balance.
