Pioneering
From the beginning, we set out to radically change how people buy and sell cars. We tackle difficult problems head-on. We are curious. We are risk-takers. We embrace change even if it’s uncomfortable.
Transparent
We believe transparency is the foundation of trust and enables better decision-making. We communicate clearly and honestly. We deliver unbiased guidance. Our products, services, and company culture are built on these principles.
Data-Driven
We rely on data, not hunches, to make decisions. We listen to our instincts but we validate through rapid testing, learning and optimizing. We translate complex data into actionable insights for our users, our customers, and our people.
Moving Quickly
We believe there’s power in speed. We iterate quickly and often, continuously improving as we go. We are not afraid to break things. If we fail, we do it fast, learn from it and move on.
Collaborative
We celebrate our individual strengths and perspectives but know that our success requires teamwork. We partner, we listen and we leverage feedback from each other, our users, and our customers.
Integrity
We act responsibly and consider the impact of our actions on each other, our partners, and the world around us. We believe empathy, respect, and fairness are essential. We set high ethical standards and expect principled leadership from our people.

CarGurus is an environment where you’re able to work on heavily scaled systems with high complexity and have a tangible opportunity to transform the traditional buying and selling model through technology. The engineering team here has built some amazing systems and products, and we’re continuing to think and build in new ways. I’m excited to elevate this while bringing new people and fresh perspectives to the table.
"We believe that learning happens every day and everywhere. It’s the success and foundation of our pioneering mindset, and each Guru plays a role in the fostering of our culture of learning. We challenge and support each other in staying curious, finding opportunities for growth, and learning through moments of discomfort so that we can become and show up as the best versions of ourselves."
"Knowing I have a job I love, a supportive company and team and the work-life balance I need has helped me feel more productive, present and fulfilled both in and out of the office. People at CarGurus are positive, optimistic and can-do — and I find this brings out the best in me too!"
"At CarGurus we're committed to empowering the professional growth of employees from all backgrounds by supporting them with the tools and opportunities to grow their careers at our company and beyond. This is ongoing work that encompasses all staff members, to support positive change within our organization and the industry as a whole."
"As an engineer, one of the things that I love most about working at CarGurus is the opportunity to innovate while solving complex problems. I feel empowered with the trust my manager and team show in me. I have the creative freedom to pursue projects that might be outside of our traditional scope. At CarGurus, we believe in experimenting and learning from our failures. The receptivity to new ideas makes me feel inspired and valued, something I haven’t experienced at other tech giants I’ve worked with."
