Pros

Employees have tons of latitude and ownership. Any time someone challenges the way we are doing things, they get a lot of opportunity to fix it.

People are super smart and challenge each other a lot. It's a surprisingly strong team given the lack of external visibility to what we work on.

The company is almost hilariously successful. Our customers totally love us. Every time I am in an Uber and they ask what I do, they tell me how much they love Credit Karma. It's awesome to be in a mission-driven company that really resonates with users and also turns in great revenue numbers.

My favorite job ever. I love it here and recommend it to everyone.

Cons

We have grown really fast and are thin in some areas for a company of our success and size. It's not the most efficient company in the world. A number of first-time senior leaders are figuring out how to do it without a lot of coaching.

Advice to Management

Keep being introspective and working towards getting better. The company is doing great, and don't forget that.

More senior leaders getting natural with giving feedback to each other and spending time sharing what matters would be awesome for everybody.
