The commission structure is good, I like how it incentivizes people in sales to try and get as many KPIs as possible to earn a nice commission check each month

I would say that the best part of my compensation package is probably uncapped commission, for me I love the chase and that is motivating for me

All in comp is competitive

The transportation benefit is the best part and I like the RSU
Review from Product Dept
The base salary is competitive.
Review from Sales Dept
Anything that could come up in real life during my workday, CarGurus already has resources to support. We are thought of in aspects I have never experienced. Lunch, snacks, wellness spaces, occasional options to see a masseuse, chiropractor, etc. right in our building. It's really incredible.
Review from Business Development Dept
I value the restricted stock units and annual bonuses because I am invested in the company
Review from Product Dept
The time off, flexible work schedule, and annual bonus opportunities come first to mind when I think about the best parts of our compensation package.
Review from Marketing Dept
The multiplier structure after 120%

Review from HR Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Higher comp, more. wfh days
Review from Sales Dept
Base salary isnt as high as you see with some other tech companies
Review from Marketing Dept
higher salary base for compensation
Review from Sales Dept
I have been here on the National Team since a October 7th and I still don’t have a comp Plan of any kind I can reference and my manager is working very hard to resolve - but I want to have a strong s
Review from Sales Dept
Below industry standards for sales managers salary & OTE
Review from Sales Dept
Such a low base salary, on top of only getting paid out for my commission every 4 months. I only have enough to live and pay my bills; not to save for my future.
Review from Customer Success Dept
more definitive commission compensation for established paying accounts
Review from Sales Dept
The compensation package is lower than most tech companies in Boston for AE roles.
Review from Sales Dept
I do not feel undervalued, comp packages are just lower than the average in our area
Review from Sales Dept
Clawbacks are very demotivating. With CGR now being a component of our comp plan we are getting hit twice.
Review from Sales Dept
I feel our sales reps should be at top of market OTE.
Review from Sales Dept
In increase of 10-15% for lower to middle management
Review from Customer Success Dept
I do not feel undervalued, however our position at the 50th percentile needs to be revaluated.
Review from HR Dept
I didn't feel comfortable negotiating pay in my hiring process and look forward to the review cycle to reconsider my compensation.
Review from Engineering Dept
My current compensation is below my base pay at my previous role. Other benefits help to compensate, but the high cost of living in the Boston area makes the lower compensation a challenge.
Review from Customer Success Dept
More PTO and/or company holidays
Review from Engineering Dept
I think a baseline of higher paying salary. Especially where we live in Boston, 45k is not really a livable wage. For some context, I was managing a small local owned coffee shop and my baseline salary pay was much higher than this plus was able to collect tips which allowed me to live comfortably.
Review from Sales Dept
More base salary, unlimited PTO
Review from Engineering Dept
when quotas go up that means pay outs go down. Quotas went up on average over 20% from last year. That means payout went down at the same rate. Im not expecting OTE to raise to 20% like quotas but something small to make the payout percentage drop not so drastic. even a 1% OTE bump would show caring
Review from Sales Dept
I would like more pay transparency within our team and the different levels
