TrueCar reviews

Untrustworthy managers, lack of vision, fear of CEO. Employee attrition is reaching critical levels, no one will disagree with CEO and is inappropriately afraid of presenting mixed/bad news to CEO (who is competent, bright, has a solid vision, and open to suggestions). Highly political organization where silence is golden, innovation is discouraged, interdepartmental "turf wars" slow progress, invite discord, demotivate talent, and embraces a 90's tech infrastructure that poorly recognizes current strategic opportunities in favor of the the "know-how" and myopic vision of current staff. Two days ago, there were 28 job available on the Truecar site, that seems odd to applicants, particularly to those who are aware that these are "backfill" vacancies. If you prefer an Apple II, you would fit right in.

The absence of a solid product/development process and overall sense of direction contributes to developers being in near-constant "crunch" mode. Company's culture glorifies and reinforces this behavior; TrueCar veterans boast about the number of hours they've put in during crunches, and management lays on the praise for those who've sacrificed their social/family lives for the company. Not an easy company to work for if you've any desire to maintain a healthy work/life balance.
