      Pros

      1. Wellness reimbursements 2. Insurance 3. Work from home

      Cons

      While I liked the culture at TrueCar, I would advise staying away from Data Engineering. The tech lead within DE is toxic and has massive ego issues. There were others before me who had suffered because of him. The managers will not stand up to him to protect you. You will be thrown under the bus if it means they're protected. I loved TrueCar genuinely and the people (both my colleagues and people from other teams). But it's my manager and the tech lead who were incredibly toxic. Do yourself a favor and avoid DE. Otherwise it's an alright company.

      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.
