TrueCar reviews

People are not being properly led. Many of the leaders fall into highly political behaviors as there seems to be a complete backlog of trying to get anything done. Technology team is old school thinking and can't get out of their own way - they spend so much energy trying to explain themselves and discussing how to make it seem like things are progressing - when they're not. The product team is all over the map - some very strong folks and others who are simply hard to work with. Way too much finger pointing in the wrong directions that everybody acts like they're constantly on their heels. People who are actually succeeding are not even recognized and many of the folks who are kicking ass are being directly blamed as the problem.... terribly strange.

There is little direction and weak leadership. The company goals change nearly every week and most time is spent butting heads with other departments jockeying for a prominent role in the devolving mission. At one time, TrueCar was an innovative and forward-looking company. After it 'reorganized' itself a few times , several talented people have been redirected to perform functions for which they lack experience or, more commonly, left the company. The CEO called the remaining staff 'crusaders' and the former staff 'mercenaries'. Many of the mercenaries should be more appropriately labeled 'heretics'. They once believed in the mission, but either no longer believe or are unable to pin down exactly what the mission is/will be this/next week.
