Pros

The culture is great. The people are great.

Cons

Without car industry experience, your growth will face challenges. Especially if you are on the service side. It is a great place to work, and a great place to start a career. Car industry experience is paramount. Something to consider when considering long term career moves. If you have car experience, and are looking to start a career in tech, I highly recommend it.

Pros

TrueCar is a highly innovative company that recognizes hard work. The executive team has changed quite a bit over the past few years. They have landed on a lean but fantastic core team that plans to expand the executive team soon. The product and tech organization went through a platform rebuild that was completed in late-2018. This presented short-term challenges for the organization over the past couple years, but now it is all about product innovation to benefit users and spark growth. I have enjoyed working with almost everyone I have crossed path with over the years. It is a highly collaborative organization that is open to taking good ideas from all levels. TrueCar is transparent with weekly all-hands from the executive team, in which they field questions from all employees. The offices are located right in downtown Santa Monica, with beautiful ocean views. Currently the company is remote due to covid. Compensation/benefits are competitive for the LA market and highly competitive nationally.

Cons

TrueCar plays in a highly competitive industry and is working to grow to profitability as a publicly traded company. This results in a "work hard" environment with minimal flexibility for employees that are not producing strong results. It is not for everyone, but if you perform well you will be rewarded.
