Credit Karma Work Experiences
- 2.0Lacks direction within the companyEngineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 23, 2016Pros: The company has a great perception of culture.Cons: At their current size (close to 500 employees), management approach and scrum practices should be adjusted to the growth.
- 1.0Rewards the wrong behavior and protects the worst peopleSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesNovember 8, 2018Pros: Comp is extremely high; it's literally the only reason people stay. If you've been here over 3 years, it's unlikely any company will pay you a base at the level Credit Karma will. Now that revenue certainty is higher and international expansion is underway, at least the IPO is just around the corner.Cons: You have to put on a fake smile and kowtow to the senior leadership, almost all of which are in roles they have no business being in. In my department, we had to research whether the new harassment disclosure laws would require prior settlements to be made known.
