Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are pleased to hear that during your tenure you were able to achieve healthy work-life balance and experienced effective communication. You are right, the automotive industry has been challenging for some time, but we are seeing steady improvements as inventory levels are normalizing for both new and used cars. Interest rates remain a challenge, but we’re also seeing more and more dealers counteract these higher rates with compelling incentives. As a former crew member on the software engineering team, I have shared your feedback with Chief Technology Officer Elias Rokos, as well.

Pros

The people who make up TrueCar are absolutely phenomenal - incredibly smart, committed, interesting and nice. The culture and compensation is great with interesting work and problems to solve. I have been promoted several times and am constantly being challenged to learn and master more skills. Being remote is great from a flexibility perspective as a working mom.

Cons

TrueCar has struggled with a clarified vision and path forward - I am excited to see leadership focus on the fundamentals of our business and on execution of those fundamentals and hope to see us stay focused.
