Pros

Turo is a fantastic place to work. The company empowers employees to do their best work and make decisions that impact business outcomes and customers. Turo's mission -- putting the world's 1 billion cars to use -- is impactful and bold, which is unique among SF startups. Senior leadership is experienced so the company isn't shifting course and changing priorities every few weeks, like some other companies of our size. In particular, the CEO Andre is incredibly thoughtful, cares deeply about the product and customers, and sets a strong example of leadership for the whole company. I've worked at three high-growth SF/Silicon Valley startups in the past 8 years and Turo is by far the best culture I've experienced.

Cons

Perks and benefits haven't kept pace with industry peers, 401K matching would be a great addition. Resources sometimes feel constrained to execute on the bold mission, but that's a common experience among high-growth startups whose businesses are outgrowing the size of their teams.

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.
