Overview
We reward our Gurus' curiosity and passion with best-in-class benefits and compensation, including medical, dental, vision, 401K, and equity for all employees. Our career development and corporate giving programs, as well as our employee resource groups (ERGs) and communities, help people build connections while making an impact in personally meaningful ways. A flexible hybrid model and robust time off policies encourage work-life balance and personal well-being. Thoughtful perks like daily free lunch, tuition reimbursement, a new car discount, Care.com and Headspace subscriptions, commuting cost coverage, and so much more help people feel their best inside and outside of work, while putting time back in their days and money back in their pockets.
Networking
Yes, CarGurus’ communities, clubs, and channels enable employees across all offices to connect over shared experiences and interests. Our ERGs are AAPI@CarGurus, AccessAbility@CarGurus, CarGurus Salutes Service (for military veterans), LGBTQ+@CarGurus, Parents@CarGurus, POC@CarGurus, and Women@CarGurus. Other communities include Women in Sales, Women in Tech, Anti-Racism Book Club, Climate Gurus, Dining Club, and many more.
Unconscious bias training
Yes, we are aware that unconscious bias has the potential to impact decision-making, team dynamics, and career growth. Training on how to avoid it is available company-wide, and mandatory for all managers and People & Talent team members.
Diversity recruiting
Yes, we strive to attract and retain diverse talent by partnering with a variety of organizations and conferences including Grace Hopper, Resilient Coders, and Boston While Black, in addition to taking a number of steps to ensure a fair and equitable hiring process.
Sabbatical
Yes, get one month off after 5 years at CarGurus, and another after 10. People use this time to take dream vacations, visit family abroad, and tackle DIY projects... or to do nothing at all!
Sponsorship program
Yes, our Elevate mentorship program for women pairs employees with experienced leaders to discuss personal and professional development. It's 6 months long but has lasting relationships and impact.
parental leave
Paid maternity
Yes, we offer 100% paid pregnancy-related medical leave up to 16 weeks plus 15 days of gradual return. You and your manager can work out the rhythm that's best for you!
Paid paternity
Yes, for parental leave (including secondary caregivers, not just dads!) we offer 100% paid leave up to 8 weeks.
Short term disability
Yes, our employer-paid coverage pays a monthly benefit if you have a covered illness or injury and you can’t work for a period up to 12 weeks.
Paid adoptive
Yes, all employees are eligible for 8 weeks of parental leave in addition to 4 weeks of adoption leave for a placement of a child due to adoption or foster care. We also assist with adoption expenses of up to $10K annually, up to $20K, reimbursed through Carrot Fertility.
Maternity-Related Benefits
Lactation facilities
Yes, our three dedicated nursing rooms are clean, cozy, and appointed with a full sink, cleaning supplies, fridge, and storage. Soft lighting, a cozy chair and blanket, and a locking door help moms feel comfortable.
Post maternity
Yes, to support our Gurus and their families, we offer a 100% paid gradual return plan of 3 weeks.
On-ramping/Off-ramping parental leave
Yes, we offer a 15-day gradual return to work policy at 100% pay. You and your manager can work out the plan that's best for you. We plan to launch a buddy system in 2023 that will aid the transition for parents returning from leave.
Fertility
Yes, all employees receive fertility health and family-forming benefits, including adoption assistance, through Carrot Fertility. These include assisted reproduction like in vitro fertilization, preservation like egg or sperm freezing, adoption, gestational carrier arrangements, pregnancy, menopause, and more.
Maternity leave coaching
Yes, all employees can access 1:1 coaching sessions with nutritionists, lactation consultants, and doulas through our partnership with Carrot Fertility.
Care-taking benefits
Backup child care

Care-taking PTO
Yes, we offer unlimited sick leave and personal time off. Gurus tend to use the latter for medical appointments, parent-teacher conferences, religious holidays we don't have off, etc.
Elder care
Yes, CarGurus' Dependent Care FSA helps employees cover eligible work-related dependent care expenses, including those associated with an elderly parent. Employees can also access senior care guidance and support through our premium Care.com membership.
