Pros

TrueCar is a great place to work. All of the perks are amazing. The Health benefits are awesome and totally free. There are plentiful days of PTO. The team is insanely smart and doing some ground breaking work in technology and in the automotive business at large. Oh... and being able to see the Santa Monica Pier from the office isn't bad either.

Cons

The cons only stem from the rapid growth. The company is quickly trying to streamline processes while they grow at exponential rates which can get a little bumpy. That also makes it exciting.

Pros

Great Benefits & Remote Work

Cons

No matter how hard you work, there’s no recognition or pay increase. I wouldn’t recommend using the open-door policy if you have concerns about a manager. I raised an ongoing issue and ended up being written up based on claims that I wasn’t completing my work, even though I was following instructions. When layoffs happened, I was unfortunately among the first to be let go. It felt like a real slap in the face after all the time and commitment I gave to the company.

We’re pleased to hear that you valued our benefits package and remote work flexibility, both of which remain important components of our employee experience. We take feedback regarding recognition and our open-door policy seriously. TrueCar is committed to maintaining a workplace where employees can safely raise concerns and where all issues are reviewed fairly and objectively. While organizational changes and employment decisions are driven by broader business considerations, we understand that these transitions are difficult. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
