Pros

- great location (off mission in soma) - 1 free catered lunch a week - standing desks - the company as a whole really cares about Turo's mission, their users, and improving. - You will see your work have a direct impact on the business. - Successes are highly applauded - A very transparent executive leadership style. CEO shares a lot with the company. - working remotely for some teams is fine

Cons

- The compensation isn't competitive. - The benefits aren't great: No matching 401K, The parental leave, while better than the minimum amount, is still abysmal compared to other tech companies in the area. - The raises are barely anything at all. - It's hard to hire good talent in certain industries like design and engineering because the salaries are not competitive enough. - Engineering is consistently understaffed, slowing progress

Pros

I’ve been at Turo for over seven years, and that alone says a lot about how I feel about this place. I’ve learned so much here. I’ve grown as a professional, taken on real responsibility, made mistakes, learned from them, and been given the opportunity to improve and keep moving forward. This environment builds confidence and loyalty. The work is challenging in a good way. It has pushed me to think bigger and solve meaningful problems, and when you make progress, you can actually see the impact, especially on the government relations team. The people truly make it special, from the CEO to the CLO to my VP and Director. There’s strong collaboration, a sense of ownership, and a team that genuinely cares. I’m proud to be here and excited about what we’re continuing to build.

Cons

Like any growing company, it hasn’t always been smooth. We’ve been through ups and downs together, and that has built trust, but it hasn’t been without difficulty. We’re back in a hybrid model now, and while we’ve adapted well, change takes adjustment. We’ve also experienced departures and layoffs, which was tough because we lost some really good apples. That part was not easy. But even through those moments, the company has continued to evolve, and change has brought new opportunities and fresh energy.
