Strong Product & Tech Focus

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.

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.
