Pros

I joined Credit Karma a little over a year ago and thought it was time to write a review. It's genuinely the best company I've worked for and is a great balance of a company with scale and yet still has some of the startup vibe. People are generally smart and collaborative. The company can be a little too "nice" which slows things down sometimes but seem to be trying to correct that. There are rumors of politics but I've not seen any evidence of that. Benefits are good, free lunches, amazing snacks, great perks like an onsite spa etc. Comp is pretty competitive for SF. Leadership is pretty good. It's a company that's going through growing pains but has a new Chief People Officer and seems to be pulling it together on that front. The CEO is great and I've been pretty impressed by leadership in Product, BD and Engineering. In particular some of the new(er) leadership in data science and marketing seem to be making a difference.

Cons

There's definitely an issue with people being too nice and critical feedback is harder to give and receive vs other places I've worked. There's not been a huge amount of clarity on strategy and goals for the company but they do seem to be working hard to fix that. Lots of meetings. Almost everyone is in the same office and so they haven't really figured out the whole remote working thing.

Pros

Skill Building: There are good opportunities to get hands-on with data, automation, and AI workflows. There is a lot of autonomy to try new things and ownership given to ICs. Things are never boring and I genuinely enjoyed the work itself. Colleagues: You will find some supportive peers and team members who make the day-to-day work easier. Resume Value: The brand recognition and experience gained here are genuinely helpful for future job searches.

Cons

Abrupt Termination: After 11 months in role, my contract was terminated early with no warning (and effective immediately) via a 5 min call with my agency's recruiter. There was no response from management when requesting final sync. Instability/Job Security: The looming integration with Intuit creates a constant backdrop of anxiety. I can tell the company is doing its best to stay competitive and ahead of the curve. However, the immense value placed on automation and AI can make employees feel replaceable and like they're working themselves out of a job. Lack of Process/Planning: Fast-paced and reactive culture. Attempts to introduce better workflows or quarterly planning to manage workload were often met with resistance or dismissed. Without procedures in place, managers also feel the need to micro-manage. Advice for Contractors: Negotiate a 4-week notice period into your agreement so they cannot terminate you immediately without pay. Ensure your agency is offering PTO/Sick time as well. All benefits are negotiable. Do not work overtime expecting loyalty or conversion. Set boundaries.
