Great Place to Work Hard and Feel Connected to What You Do
Pros
Great Company if you want to change the world - having the opportunity to fundamentally improve the car buying and selling experience will eventually improve one of the largest industries in the U.S. - and someday potentially beyond. People are very smart and hard working. Pay is good. Benefits are great. HR Team is awesome and provides a great experience in catered lunches for the whole Company every week, catered breakfasts each month, and a host of other really great events. This is a Company that is going somewhere where you can be proud to work.
Cons
TrueCar is a demanding place to work. You have the opportunity to change the world here. But, the expectation is that you want to and you are capable of it. Work hours are somewhat flexible depending on role. But, it is not uncommon for work to follow you home via after hours and weekend calls from Executives with new requests. Executive Team is overall pretty personable. But when work has to get done - it does. TrueCar also has a lot of smart people, many of whom have very strong opinions and even stronger desire to be heard. It is sometimes a place where the best ideas don't always surface to the top. Newer employee, but staff doesn't seem to be very social. I haven't been invited to do anything yet. But maybe it takes longer than a few months to feel the love.
