Pros

Love the people. Each day is a great challenge. It is an environment meant for those people with tremendous self-motivation, ability to see the big picture and move towards lofty goals. This is an aggressive business model and you have to keep up. And you certainly can't beat the location, offices and extremely generous benefits. If you do well here, you are certainly rewarded - not just in compensation - with new and growing responsibilities.

Cons

I agree the free lunch on some days is not so good. Just as it is a pro, it is an aggressive business model and you have to keep up.

Pros

If you are passionate about the automotive industry this is the place to work. The pool of talented individuals is incredible and the company is very social and dynamic. As a Sales Operation Analyst you are exposed to a wide variety of interesting and complex issues. Truecar has incredible trust in its employees and seems to reward those who show that they are driven and accountable. Obviously the free lunches, athletic benefits, and trips to the LA Auto Show are nice benefits as well.

Cons

As in any company who's rewards are based on performance, the level of effort required on average is substantially higher than that of a 9-5 job. However, this is the only downside I have experienced thus far.

C Suite Management is not clear and a bit tone deaf
