Thrive With Us
At CarGurus, we strive to build and nurture a global culture where inclusiveness is a reflex, not an initiative. We envision a workplace where everyone feels they can bring the ultimate expression of themselves and their potential to work every day – where they don’t just fit, they thrive.
Diversity
We aim to reflect the diversity of our customers and the world around us.
Equity in Career Growth and Development
We seek to build a culture where everyone has an equal opportunity to grow and thrive. This means ensuring that employees see their diverse identities reflected in all levels of leadership and having transparent and fair compensation, promotion, and reward processes.
Inclusion
We strive to build a culture where all employees are empowered to show up as themselves and do their best work together. This means creating a community where we embrace and celebrate our differences and support one another with empathy.
WHAT OUR PEOPLE SAY
My greatest joy in this role is helping to uplift our employees’ voices and aspirations while underscoring CarGurus’ commitment to creating an inclusive and equitable environment for all. I’m excited to expand our current opportunities for development and connection within our 6 Employee Resource Groups, mentorship programs, service days, and other community-building endeavors.
The people I work with day-to-day are so good at what they do, yet everyone is also so humble, helpful, and altruistic. It’s truly a treat to get to work with such a group of smart and kind individuals, solving big problems together and building friendships along the way.
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. 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.
At CarGurus, I love the opportunity to innovate while solving complex problems. I feel empowered with the trust my manager and team show in me. The receptivity to new ideas makes me feel inspired and valued, something I haven’t experienced at other tech giants I’ve worked with.
Knowing I have a job I love, a supportive company and team and the work-life balance I need have 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!
Our Core Values

CarGurus Gives Back
Open Source Fund
This employee-led charitable initiative gives back to the open source projects that help fuel the company’s market-leading technology. Members of the CarGurus engineering team founded the Open Source Fund to empower engineers to choose open source projects for which they have a passion and believe are deserving of financial support.
Charitable Giving
CarGurus recognizes that it’s important to give back. Gurus across the globe volunteer their time, effort, and resources to philanthropic causes every year. That’s why we set up a charitable giving program, which is funded annually based on the previous year’s earnings to help support those very organizations. Grants are awarded based on employee nominations and are announced at the quarterly town hall meeting.
