Pros

They do tend to pay well, but that is not always a pro. There are some good people there, and the benefits are top notch.

Cons

The company is in a constant Save Our Ship mode. The tech culture is rotten with politics, unless you are lucky enough to have one of the few managers that shelter you from that sort of thing. Few hold the power, and they like it that way, so be prepared to struggle for every worthwhile project, or any domain knowledge.

Pros

I don't think there is anything left that is a pro here anymore. - A naive first-time CEO who doesn't know what he is doing has made a coup up top and is getting rid of anyone who doesn't say "Yes Sir" - No stock benefit, earned next to nothing here - No work-life balance - Barely any bonus, they don't have funds for anyone below VP - Little to no benefits especially since they have taken everything away since COVID ended federally

Cons

Hope the CEO doesn't leave after bringing this company down to its knees.

Thank you for your feedback. As we enter 2024, we are excited about our new CEO and the vision our executive leadership team has outlined for TrueCar. Addressing fluctuations in TrueCar's stock prices, executive leadership has been transparent in discussing these matters during our monthly all-hands meetings. We've incorporated these insights into our company vision and outlined detailed one- and three-year plans. Our approach involves establishing clear goals with designated teams, and individuals held accountable for their contribution. Looking ahead to 2024, we anticipate an exciting period of transformation and positive change. As emphasized by our CEO in our January 2024 all-hands meeting, taking advantage of our flexible paid time off policy is crucial for employee well-being, encouraging everyone to recharge. Our wellness program further offers monthly opportunities for employees to engage in activities, challenges, and learning focused on physical, emotional, financial, and mental health. In addition, employees were recognized for their hard work and dedication, and bonuses were awarded to eligible employees, including VPs and below, based on individual performance in 2023. TrueCar offers comprehensive benefits to support employee well-being, including flexible paid time off (PTO) and an annual wellness stipend. Additionally, employees and their dependents can benefit from six coaching and six therapy sessions per year, fully covered by TrueCar. Our robust benefits package extends to 401k employer matching, learning and development opportunities like access to Udemy, and monthly stipends for internet and cell phones. In addition, TrueCar covers the cost of employee medical, dental, and vision at 100%. We are excited about the direction the organization is heading and the innovative products and services we can bring to our partners and consumers in the auto industry.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. While we value your perspective and honesty, we disagree with the comment about upper management. TrueCar is committed to cultivating a diverse and equitable workplace where all employees are included and know they belong at all levels of the organization. As we continue our journey, we recognize there is still work to be done and are steadfast in our commitment to DEI and building a diverse workforce.
