Pros

good lifestyle company free lunches good hours frequent company outings and happy hours

Cons

* low pay with poor benefits. no 401k matching * equity is peanuts! Very little equity is given to new employees. Don't believe the hype. * management is inexperienced and were promoted into their positions from individual contributors at cargurus. Old boy network. * boring product * nobody has any clue what the direction of the company is. Absolutely zero management communication. Employees left in the dark completely. No roadmap

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
