Pros

Having seen the company grow quite a bit over the years, I’ve seen the company go through some rough patches and try to find their way, but one thing I’ve noticed is Turo continues to become a better place to work every year. I hope they can continue this trend with the rapid growth we’ve experienced. The engineering teams shift to Responsive Engineering from Agile Development last summer is a great example of the companies continual focus of improving process. I find the company strikes an excellent balance of empowering employees to make decisions and also fostering a collaborative culture that values outside opinions between teams. They regularly solicit feedback and – more importantly – actually take action to improve upon things that aren’t going well. This is rare and admirable quality to have at an organization, and I greatly appreciate my voice being heard. The people here are really amazing. We definitely take our time with the hiring process, making sure that ultimately this is somebody I’d like to work with each day, and I think that’s a large part of what’s made Turo what it is. We are more forgiving for inexperience or lack of specific skill-sets if a candidate if eager to learn and passionate about our product. We have employees from all over the globe, and I feel like everyone has their own unique story to tell and interests outside of the tech world. I also want to mention the incredible level of transparency the company provides into the business. I think it helps align everyones goals and understand that we’re all in this together. It’s kind of fun watching the revenue charts :)

Cons

There are some inherent difficulties with a bicoastal office, with some others working remotely as well. Relying on Google Hangouts for communication can be difficult at times, especially when the internet is being fussy, but it’s something we’re trying to improve. The timezone change is probably the harder part of this, which mostly just means you have to be careful when collaborating with people across the country.

Pros

Great culture and people who are genuinely passionate about what they do. The work-life balance and day-to-day ethics are solid and under the terrific leadership of Andre - everyone is aligned towards the same goal. The company is extremely data driven and everyone stays well informed of the trends. People react quickly and every appreciates the necessity to refine things based on data. The company is growing fast and it's evident the company has a solid business model in place. If you want to be part of something big - now is a great time to join!

Cons

They could pay better but they compensate by giving you amazing culture and equity that will be worth a lot.
