Poor Manager Experience - Human Resources CarGurus Employee Review

-Standout, tangible culture that is unique to other workplaces -Bright, talented, and motivated peers -Thoughtful management from top to bottom -Genuine sense that your role makes a difference, with the opportunity to deliver results that are actually impactful -Multi-faceted recognition for high quality work -Leadership knows you beyond just your role -High-energy, motivational "why" around our purpose and our goals -Outstanding benefits, amenities, and office space -Tons of events, outings, and opportunities to connect with coworkers -Flexible, hybrid work environment -Stress feels good - what you do actually matters

-Many teams run lean, meaning different roles or groups may wear multiple hats -Upward mobility has slowed in recent years -Many groups are still experiencing growing pains of company maturing (unclear grey areas, room for confusion/overlapping work streams) -Cross-functional teams can feel fragmented without intentional efforts to align

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.

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.
