Pros

* great team, friendly co-workers, supportive manager * good work life balance

Cons

Pay is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. The "standard" is 75 percentile of industry range, and they even benchmark people to a pay range one level below where they should be. For example, with my title and YoE I should be benchmarked against the pay range of Px level. However, I was actually benchmarked to Px-1 level (plus 75 percentile!). Management kept trying to pretend like they are "fair" with compensation, and they have no ideal what reality is. However, it's so easy to find out what people should be paid (just go on Level Fi., Linkedin or Indeed). When asked why the pay is so low, they'll say "oh people just want to be paid more. They are never satisfied." What's even funnier is that there used to be a question around people's satisfaction re. compensation in the quarterly culture survey. Now they removed that question because too many people are complaining and they are not planning to do anything about it. By going somewhere else, you can easily get $100k more than what you get at Turo. If you should be paid more than local average income for your role, you'll actually be paid poverty line $$ in Turo. Not recommended. You should be compensated fairly for what you do.

Pros

I’ve been at Turo for over seven years, and that alone says a lot about how I feel about this place. I’ve learned so much here. I’ve grown as a professional, taken on real responsibility, made mistakes, learned from them, and been given the opportunity to improve and keep moving forward. This environment builds confidence and loyalty. The work is challenging in a good way. It has pushed me to think bigger and solve meaningful problems, and when you make progress, you can actually see the impact, especially on the government relations team. The people truly make it special, from the CEO to the CLO to my VP and Director. There’s strong collaboration, a sense of ownership, and a team that genuinely cares. I’m proud to be here and excited about what we’re continuing to build.

Cons

Like any growing company, it hasn’t always been smooth. We’ve been through ups and downs together, and that has built trust, but it hasn’t been without difficulty. We’re back in a hybrid model now, and while we’ve adapted well, change takes adjustment. We’ve also experienced departures and layoffs, which was tough because we lost some really good apples. That part was not easy. But even through those moments, the company has continued to evolve, and change has brought new opportunities and fresh energy.
