      Not worth your mental health

      Pros

      1. Wellness reimbursements 2. Insurance 3. Work from home

      Cons

      While I liked the culture at TrueCar, I would advise staying away from Data Engineering. The tech lead within DE is toxic and has massive ego issues. There were others before me who had suffered because of him. The managers will not stand up to him to protect you. You will be thrown under the bus if it means they're protected. I loved TrueCar genuinely and the people (both my colleagues and people from other teams). But it's my manager and the tech lead who were incredibly toxic. Do yourself a favor and avoid DE. Otherwise it's an alright company.

      While the leadership is fighting, the company is falling apart

      Pros

      It used to be a good place to work - not anymore and the recession is not to blame!

      Cons

      When I joined the company, the stock was $25/share Now, 3 CEOs, 7 CFOs, numerous heads of product later, it's around $2 and it saw even lower days. TrueCar is a company of chance - change of senior leadership switching directions 180 degrees every time it happens. Lots of projects are being executive will driven rather than data driven. Product managers barely communicate to each other. It was getting more and more toxic by the day. Also, their pay is a joke.

      Thank you for leaving a review. The changes within TrueCar’s stock prices have been something that executive leadership has candidly discussed with employees during our monthly all-hands meetings. We’ve been working to address this in our updated company vision and our specific one and three-year plans. We have clear goals set and specific teams and employees accountable for helping us meet them. We believe that 2024 will be an exciting time for change and transformation, and the goals that we have set will help us move the company forward and, in the end, our stock prices as well. TrueCar conducts a biannual review of job benchmarks and market pay data from different compensation sources to ensure we pay our employees fairly and competitively. We pride ourselves on providing competitive compensation along with great benefits for employees. We are excited about the direction and the future of TrueCar!
