Pros
Compensation is on the higher end of the range. Benefits are good, not quite as good as other companies I have worked at, but not poor. Free lunch on Wednesdays, free gym (up to $50/month). The do-ers at the company (the worker bees) are actually really cool and easy to get along with.
Cons
If you want to work just for the money, have to deal with politics and spend your time on a brand that is at the bottom of the market, you should join the team here. Any review can be done by someone who had a bad eval or something like that, so let me give you some estimated numbers/facts. Since I started at TrueCar: -New CFO, CPO left, two SVPs have left, 3 directors have left. -Another two VPs are leaving in the next 3-4 months (announced) -Last year, the total number of just product/tech people that have left is around 25-30%. This not an exaggeration, it was announced by HR. We were told that most of these "we wanted gone". I'd beg to differ and it shows you how incompetent this company is. Not convinced? -Budget is very difficult to get here. The company is doing so poorly that any amount requested has to wait for the next QTR to help ease expense on the current one. -Leadership is very bad. Zero strategy, product is years behind, favoritism. You name it. -On this note, there are many who have a title/role they are nowhere near qualified for. -The people they are bringing in to lead departments are mostly talking heads. Some of them are coming into the organization from day one and trying to tell everyone how to do their jobs. I haven't been directly impacted, but I know people who are on the way out (by choice) because of it. I implore you to look at financial statements/earnings and listen to the calls. Then go and listen to the competition. That will tell you all you need to know. In summary: lots of bad change, lots of politics, and no innovation. This is the worst company I have been employed at and I will not be employed here much longer.
