Pros

Beautiful Santa Monica Great work/life balance Some amazing individuals Great benefits (insurance, unlimited PTO, etc)

Cons

Pay is very poor - set very low expectations on bonus and don't expect to ever get a raise. Like ever. Management is full of egoistical and incompetent. the worse combination Layoffs. So many layoffs. every year. They just laid off 10% of the company CEO is an old guy out of touch with current business and technology needs

Pros

Good pay, nice location, decent benefits, smart colleagues, opportunities to learn and use new skills.

Cons

Management overall is clueless and doesn’t know how to scale the business upwards. To compensate for their fruitless efforts, they readily engage in layoffs to offset their own hubris and incompetence. They say they want to be smart, but are quick to pull the trigger on getting rid of their brightest people just because they can’t afford to pay them anymore. The primary vision of the company was to offer transparency to consumers during their vehicle purchases, but how can they even begin to adhere to this vision when they aren’t transparent to their own employees? Very shady indeed, and not worth risking your career or self-value for a self-proclaimed tech company that hasn’t even hit $1 billion in annual revenue yet after more than 10 years of being in operation. Meritocracy is almost absent at the company, so you better know how to kiss up if you want to experience any TRUE(car) success there.
