Pros

Great Company if you want to change the world - having the opportunity to fundamentally improve the car buying and selling experience will eventually improve one of the largest industries in the U.S. - and someday potentially beyond. People are very smart and hard working. Pay is good. Benefits are great. HR Team is awesome and provides a great experience in catered lunches for the whole Company every week, catered breakfasts each month, and a host of other really great events. This is a Company that is going somewhere where you can be proud to work.

Cons

TrueCar is a demanding place to work. You have the opportunity to change the world here. But, the expectation is that you want to and you are capable of it. Work hours are somewhat flexible depending on role. But, it is not uncommon for work to follow you home via after hours and weekend calls from Executives with new requests. Executive Team is overall pretty personable. But when work has to get done - it does. TrueCar also has a lot of smart people, many of whom have very strong opinions and even stronger desire to be heard. It is sometimes a place where the best ideas don't always surface to the top. Newer employee, but staff doesn't seem to be very social. I haven't been invited to do anything yet. But maybe it takes longer than a few months to feel the love.

Pros

Great Benefits & Remote Work

Cons

No matter how hard you work, there’s no recognition or pay increase. I wouldn’t recommend using the open-door policy if you have concerns about a manager. I raised an ongoing issue and ended up being written up based on claims that I wasn’t completing my work, even though I was following instructions. When layoffs happened, I was unfortunately among the first to be let go. It felt like a real slap in the face after all the time and commitment I gave to the company.
