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.

TrueCar Is Awesome!

Pros

TrueCar is different and a very special place to work. TrueCar is focused on making car buying easier, which feels "higher purpose" than many other tech companies whose focus is getting users to click on more ads. Transforming the largest retail vertical, helping consumers save time & money and helping dealers sell more cars profitably results in an endless supply of fun and challenging problems to solve. TrueCar sets a very high bar and has accumulated an amazing roster of exceptional people. People who like solving big meaty problems, collaborating and posting results do well at TrueCar.

Cons

The culture is not for everybody – it is intense and there is a debate style approach to discussing and solving problems. If not a high performer and/or move at a "big company slow" pace, TrueCar is not a fun place to work as the culture pushes back hard on mediocrity, hiding and slowness.

Pros

Some of the brightest people I have ever met work at TrueCar. What I don't know, I learn from my peers and co-workers because egos are left at the door. I share my strengths and they are welcomed rather than dismissed. Upper management is easy to communicate with, without feeling intimidating. The benefits are the best I have ever had, and the work environment makes it easy to come to work every day. Santa Monica is a busy place, and paid parking is a huge plus. A chiropractor comes to our office once a week. Who else offers that! You are expected to work, and work hard, but it's easy to be motivated and love what you do when you are part of exceptional teams and in an amazing environment.

Cons

The company is growing, and some that have been around for a while tend to be stuck in the old ways of doing things.
