      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!

      Pros

      Good work-life balance, great team communication within each team

      Cons

      Tightly coupled to one very specific industry and the whims of interest rates

      Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are pleased to hear that during your tenure you were able to achieve healthy work-life balance and experienced effective communication. You are right, the automotive industry has been challenging for some time, but we are seeing steady improvements as inventory levels are normalizing for both new and used cars. Interest rates remain a challenge, but we’re also seeing more and more dealers counteract these higher rates with compelling incentives. As a former crew member on the software engineering team, I have shared your feedback with Chief Technology Officer Elias Rokos, as well.

      Pros

      Laid back and stress free. Good infrastructure for the code.

      Cons

      Leadership is terrible, very obviously terrible. No room for growth.
