Pros

It was an incredible place to work before covid. Fair, engaging, fun, great pay.

Cons

Right now they don’t have a dime to pay sales and it’s evident. Can’t book anything because it covid and the goals are somehow higher than they were before? People in sales are lucky if they’re making a third of their OTE monthly commission and probably one tenth or less of what they’re used to making. Not only is the pay horrible during covid but they were able to find 100k to donate to social justice while their own reps are scraping, thanks guys. And get ready to be lectured beyond belief about your political views, every day there’s another book club or seminar about white fragility. It’s really sad to see where this company has come after being such a great place to work no so long ago.

Thank you for taking the time and providing this feedback. We understand that this is a challenging time for our Sales organization and we’re all working hard to make positive changes to help all of our reps in the face of changing quotas and shifting targets. But here at CarGurus, we strongly believe in advancing the cause of racial justice as part of our efforts to lean into learning, communication, and action in pursuit of meaningful change. We believe that we all have a responsibility to lean into our commitment to Integrity and take a stand on issues that impact all of us and our society as a whole. If you wish to discuss this at any time, please reach out at mmcgarry@cargurus.com or your HRBP. - Matt

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.
