Pros

-Most employees are supportive and friendly, except for a few bad apples -The c-suite are genuine and really strive to make it a transparent culture -The digital marketing team is top notch and the leadership for these verticals are incredible -The internal professional coaching is incredibly helpful.

Cons

-Most of the creative team came from a bank and have tried to force fit old processes that work for a modern fintech company. -Toxic leadership on the creative team has led to a lack of collaboration cross functionally and the departure of most of the brand team -The commercial spots don't reflect the values of the company and are often deemed in poor taste or offensive. Agencies are hired to help, but not given ownership resulting in more of the same.

Pros

-Super fake positive reviews -Flavored water -SF hipsters with giant facial piercings -Daycare rules are need to be at office 9am-6pm or you get a detention -Most people thee have been there less than 6 months or more than several years. Do the math -ping pong table (don't get caught playing) -I love my current job (not credit karma)

Cons

Credit karma will always be in my employment history when you run my background check. As an engineer it is quite embarrassing. Fortunately it was very short stint.

Pros

- Arcade - Drinking - There are a handful of cool people

Cons

- The self-reviews are soul-smushing. Maybe I'm just sensitive, but having to rate myself 1-5 on 5 traits and write an essay about why I deserve a promotion, even if your manager has already decided to not put you up to the hiring committee is just feels farcical and dehumanizing. - I think management is awful at assessing who's a good engineer and who's not. - Had a string of bad managers (or managers who were forced to be bad due to requirements placed on them, unclear). I had about 5 managers in less than 2 years, most of whom were focused on "getting out the door faster." - I worked in a vertical that made no money, so regardless of how good my code was I wasn't seen as on a "star team" because the product side couldn't make it work. - Obsession with Google/Twitter is true - The CTO admitted to reading private slacks. And engineers in general would be careful what they'd say on slack because they were concerned about privacy, which I think had a real "chilling effect" on the ability to acknowledge management problems. - Once had a manager rewrite my API calling code into 15 classes + 15 interfaces "for reusability" (introducing bugs in the process). The code was never reused because the vertical was basically shut-down, but he was "from google" so I guess I'm wrong.... - When I left I got more than 30k more. They didn't even try to match my offer. I understand why, I called it like I saw it and that style really didn't fit in there.

Credit Karma Response
8y
I read your review, and am sorry that things didn't work out for you at Credit Karma. I don't normally respond to reviews, but there's an element to this one that I felt important to clarify openly. We've worked to construct an environment that encourages an openness to change as a result of direct feedback, and it's important to me that our engineers are empowered to voice concerns. We've setup internal avenues for anonymous feedback to the exec team, and there are initiatives designed to gather feedback directly from engineers. Many of our best and most impactful company changes have come from a single engineer openly discussing their frustrations. Reading the private messages of others would not only be counter-productive to creating that environment, but would directly oppose my personal value system. I am a strong believer in personal privacy, and I do not support "Big Brother"-esque surveillance, at the government or corporate levels. I do not make a practice of reading private messages. It is true that there are circumstances, like government regulation, that can force a company to produce some of its internal communications. That's a reality that companies can not legally avoid. As a best practice, I counsel people - not only our employees, but friends and family - to keep their personal information away from corporate systems, and to use encryption liberally for personal data. It's important to me that personal and private communications stay personal and private. Sincerely, Ryan
