Pros

"Free" lunch and "unlimited PTO"

Cons

This company is awful. To be honest, I was so desperate for work after my last company went belly-up that I ignored all the warning signs and Glassdoor reviews. I figured the previous reviews were from lazy people, and even if the reviews were honest I figured that I could tough it out. BOY WAS I WRONG. The interview process went really well, but it was as if the people I interviewed with changed the day I arrived. (Did they change or were they putting on a show to trap someone - me - into the role as quickly as possible?) I was also told that the company recently decided to leave its parent organization and had big plans. HAHA! The truth, I found out, is that PureCars was dropped because it couldn't get its act together. I even learned that when PureCars had a parent company, it managed to lure away a lot of start-up talent but they all left within a year or two! The people I worked with (my position was cross-functional, so I worked with practically every team) were disgustingly narrow-minded, averse to change, and appallingly MEAN to each other. I saw screaming matches, people crying in the bathrooms, employees either tipsy or high during the work day, and absolutely no accountability for anything. Also, the product is subpar and the entire business strategy is to convince smaller dealerships to pay PureCars to run Google AdWords campaigns for them (at an expensive rate)! Believe the other reviews! Stay away!
