Pros

1.) I don’t know about you, but I like gambling. I always enjoy my annual trip to Vegas to play the slots and push my luck. When I can’t get to vegas, truecar has given me my fix. You see, every 6-9 months, we have layoffs. Some of us like to place wagers - who's getting canned next. The layoffs don't seem associated with skill or performance, so it's more like a roll of the dice on who will go. All the more exciting, you know? 2.) I also like adventure sports. While most of my friends like it when their stocks rise, for me it's been fun watching the freefall. Watching my stock price drop from $20 per share down to the $2-$3 level reminds me of skydiving. Which is awesome! One of my favorite hobbies. 3.) I don't know about you, but I love meeting new people. Here, leadership changes every year. We've had multiple ceos, cfos, ctos, and chiefs of any department you can think of. Also, vps, svps, and middle management is a revolving door. Awesome! It’s made for an exciting atmosphere, always adapting to new vision and direction from the ever changing leadership. 4.) Very forward-looking product when I joined. While we haven't really changed the product much over the last few years, I personally like the retro vibe. Oh, we did update our brand. New imaging and logo. Really pretty much the same product, which is all the more awesome. 5.) Culture. What can I say that hasn't been captured in other reviews. HR is the dept that’s probably seen the most turnover. How many heads of hr have we had since I’ve been here? I’ve lost count. I wonder why they all keep leaving?

Cons

While the location is off the rails- SM promenade, it's not so great right now because of covid. Not really your fault, truecar. But I gotta put something down here for a con, right?

Pros

Unlimited Vacation Decent Pay Decent Benefits Easy work

Cons

Management doesn't have a clue what they are doing. They promote based on politics, not on skills. Just went through a massive layoff. No career development
