Pros

- You’ll get responsibility fast, and will work with amazing people - You'll have interactions or visibility with executive leadership, which could be valuable for growth within your org.

Cons

- The CEO and other leaders have made tone-deaf, even hurtful, public statements. Executive leadership frequently contradicted themselves and used unprofessional language in public forums. - Compensation is abysmal to say the least. Employees are lucky to receive 2-3% raises YoY, while our Exec. board rakes in large bonuses, equity, and raises. - Culture is reactive and performative. Leadership talks about growth but doesn't back it up with action or investment. They've failed to meet goals for 3+ years, and take reactive measures such as layoffs and RTO in an attempt to reconcile their own wrongdoings.

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.
