      Strong Product & Tech Focus

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      I have been consistently surprised and impressed at the strong product and tech focus at TrueCar. It still feels like a startup that prizes design, specs, QA, etc. I have bean at other companies where revenue and marketing take precedence. So it is great to find that TrueCar isn't like that.

      Cons

      The company is growing and forming many new departments. It is becomingly harder to coordinate with all those teams for a fast release of a new product. This means greater stability for all and a good focus on long term projects, but it also means some silos and meetings.

      Great example of "Silicon Beach"

      Senior software developer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company exemplifies "Silicon Beach." It's a mix of tech, design, advertising, and automotive business. The culture is fun and energetic. Business is good.

      Cons

      The company is experiencing typical growth pains along with its success. The last CTO was essentially just a shepherd for the IPO, and has been gone for months with no replacement. Leadership is very much focused on the product and finance side of the business, so the tech groups are constantly juggled around and tasked with bold new initiatives.

      Weak Leadership, Favoritism at the Top

      Senior analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are awesome! Plenty of snacks,lunches and other food perks. Commute-friendly work hours are a plus especially with downtown traffic. Learning seminars and training are great to help build up your personal resume.

      Cons

      Compensation is very top skewed and the culture shifted after going IPO. Big encouragement to work long hours even if theyre not totally productive. Scott Painter doesn't seem mentally stable and often has company wide rants. Attitude that the workers are replaceable and aren't valued by management. Pretty sexist (read borderline lawsuit attitudes) office environment too.
