Pros

Very tight, team oriented environment with extremely low turnover. Team members are motivated, highly skilled and collaborative by nature. Having such co-workers makes it easy to contribute and pickup new skills.

Cons

Benefits are great in general, but company match on 401k would be a welcomed addition. In it's current state, the code base can be daunting to some engineers, but that's changing with time.

The Right Priorities

Pros

Our CEO Langley has always said that growing a company is a marathon, not a sprint. At a lot of companies that is just a line, but having been at CarGurus for a long time that has proven to really be the culture. Engineers do work hard, but the emphasis is getting the job done, not on keeping certain hours or trying to meet arbitrary deadlines. I think this works at CarGurus because my peers are smart and experienced, but not arrogant about it. I can trust that everyone is going to do their job and not be shy about asking or giving help. As we continue to scale and expand internationally there are also plenty of interesting problems left to solve.

Cons

CarGurus is extremely light on management and meetings. Generally, I like that as I'm not a fan of meetings for meetings sake, but sometimes this also translates into a lack of communication about the bigger picture direction of the company. Now that we are settled in our new space, I understand there are plans to have short catch up sessions over catered lunch a couple times a month, so I'm hopeful this will help with this.
