Pros

Food (However as of recently they cut this back) Location (If you live in or around the Santa Monica area) Compensation (The pay is well however it is Santa Monica) Benefits (I'd say above average benefits)

Cons

Where do I began. I think I'll just list things out in order so you have a clear idea of what you may be stepping in. - Pending the department growth is a possibility along with work-life balance. However lets be clear and growth is almost dependent on how many hours you are around. From what I've seen promotions normally were awarded based on basically living there with the managers. There are an extreme and I mean "EXTREME" amount of politics at this corporation. It doesn't matter if you work in tech, finance, HR, accounting or the dealership team. They promote there "friends" from within so let's keep this clear. - To reiterate, work-life balance just plain doesn't exist and it's even more extreme for tech, finance and accounting. Turnover has been literally unreal in those areas and the employees who've worked in those areas literally run out of that place whenever they can. - Management - There are a few very good managers in almost all areas so if you happen to work under a good one then congratulations. When I say few you probably can count them on 1 hand, let's put it that way.

Pros

Performance oriented - you either move forward or you are let go. This is great for career / compensation opportunities. Nice location. Peers are above average intelligence and capability.

Cons

Not a diverse workforce. HR is a little tone deaf. Organization is very fluid. It's a struggle to get some people to follow modern best practices.

Pros

TrueCar is nitro-fuel for your career. Smartest, most passionate colleagues I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Great benefits, killer parties.

Cons

TrueCar is beyond dynamic; adjusting strategy to market opportunities in real-time. Success requires humble adaptability. Fast-paced, but very rewarding. Keep calm and carry on.
