Turo reviews

- High-caliber, collaborative teammates (especially in Data Science) - Faster decision-making and more ownership - Strong momentum around AI and innovation - Opportunities to step up and have real impact I’ve had a mixed experience at Turo, but one that has evolved significantly over time. To be candid, there was a period that was frustrating. The company went through layoffs, the IPO didn’t materialize, and the return-to-office policy was rolled out in a way that felt abrupt and lacking in empathy. That phase was difficult, and I think many of the lower ratings here reflect how people felt during that time. However, my experience more recently has been very different—and much more positive. The organization today feels leaner, more focused, and more effective. With fewer layers and smaller decision-making groups, things move faster and with greater clarity. Many of the people who remain are high performers, and I’ve seen strong leaders step up or be promoted into roles where they’re making a real impact. There’s a noticeable shift toward accountability and execution. One of the biggest bright spots has always been the Data Science team. The culture there is genuinely exceptional—collaborative, smart, supportive, and deeply engaged. Even through the broader company challenges, the team has maintained strong morale and a sense of camaraderie. It’s felt like a bit of an oasis, and in many ways, we’ve come out of this period stronger than before. We’re also leaning into AI in meaningful ways, which has made the work more impactful and forward-looking. It’s an exciting time to be building and iterating quickly. Overall, while the past challenges were real, the current environment feels much closer to a 4-star experience than what’s reflected in the overall rating. For someone joining today—especially in Data Science—this could genuinely be a dream role if you’re looking to work with a talented, driven, and fun team.
