Pros

The people at Turo are fun to work and hang out with. I have been here for awhile and this might be one of the best companies I have worked at by far. Before deciding to join Turo, I was a bit hesitant on the company's outlook. I am very glad I took a leap of faith. Everyone that I have talked to in and outside my team have welcome and appreciate everything I do for the company. The CEO wants to make sure everyone is contributing to help build a great product and put the trusts in everyones hand to make sure that happens. Turo has 2 offsite events that they host every year called "Turbo Week" and participate in various activities and events. It is a great time to finally meet a lot of folks that work remotely or people you don't work with at all. Turo supports a fully hybrid or remote work environment which I fully support.

Cons

For one, I am not a big fan of the SF office. I live in Milpitas and there is no close bart station within 20min of me. Driving into the office and parking would cost me $36 a day which unfortunately is not feasible. Free lunch is only on Wednesday which seems like the day where most people come into the office. Benefits are pretty good, but could be better.

Pros

Unfortunately, not many since the company has shifted priorities, post layoffs. Good work/life balance but depends on your role

Cons

Lack of employee development due to lack of bandwidth for leaders, new shift in performance management allows leaders to let employees go without development paths, there's a push to work harder and move faster creating a toxic work environment.
