TrueCar Reviews

Where to begin. The recruiting team is the pits. The only decent candidates we interview in tech and product come from internal referrals, everyone the recruiters bring us is garbage. Someone decided it was a good idea to let the senior management that ran our main competitor into the ground come run tech and product. You can imagine how well that's going. Morale is extremely low, turnover is growing and there are lots of people looking to leave, it's depressing. TrueCar spent all of this time and money creating a new intern program and recruiting for it from a bunch of fancy universities, and most of us are expecting it to fail big time. If managers can't even effectively manage their current teams, most of us are confused about how they're going to also properly guide and mentor these interns. There seems to be a fundamental disconnect of vision and execution between the senior management, lower level people are starting to notice and it's not being received well. Overall communication between departments is poor, and doesn't look to improve any time soon. Entitlement and narcissism seems to be prevalent at the upper levels.

Every member of leadership team including a co founder and his buddies who he elevated to important technology and product positions are highly political. The focus is on taking control of the organization by imposing their wishes rather than empowering teams and individuals to make a sound choice. There is a political clique of 3 in the Technology Dept. that is handing down ever changing rules and ruining any chances this company has to retain or attract top tech talent.
