Pros

Your manager makes all the difference. Fortunately my manager really cares about my growth as an employee, and continues to look out for my best interests. I have only been around TrueCar for about six months, but already feel like an integral member of the team with a significant responsibility. Leadership on my team is great, and there are no weak links in my department. If you are capable and motivated, you will succeed at TrueCar.

Cons

Everyone works towards goals, not necessarily the greater good. There is a lot of talk about receiving the twice-yearly bonus which is dependent on hitting your goals. Executives are far removed from the rest company. There is a very little interaction between the top of the food chain, and the rest of company. Certain employees (upper management) are making money hand over fist, yet there is no employee stock buying program. Food! Seems petty, but when the wonderful kitchen full of snacks goes away due to cost cutting measures, you start to questions why certain teams continue to get daily lunches and dinners.

Pros

Aside from the most amazing benefits packages and a performance base compensation plan that is only limited by your ability to set and accomplish your goals, the best reason to work at TrueCar is the opportunity to truly revolutionize an industry. The culture of transparency, teamwork and excellence are visible throughout the entire structure of the company and encouraged at every level.

Cons

The goal we are pursuing as a company is bringing dynamic change to the culture of an entire industry. It is sometimes an arduous journey, and because it takes a pioneering effort to forge new practices in the culture of an industry, you can sometimes grow weary, but from the core leadership down we are continually encouraged to keep on task, support each other, and be willing to commit to each individual's continued mastery of what we contribute to our company's goals and vision.
