Process
The interview was mostly coding on the board, similar to any tech company in the Bay Area.
The offer wasn't good enough to even remotely consider, at least for me.
The stock options offered weren't in line with the industry. The hiring manager tried to show the upside of the stock by quoting the price of preferential stock, even though I was getting common stocks.
I got blamed for not being passionate about Credit Karma when I tried to negotiate on stocks. The negotiation was so unreasonable that it totally ticked me off.
I believe Credit Karma is not really a tech company and doesn't value hiring great engineering talent.
