Credit Karma reviews

There seems to be a lot of politics and nepotism in the company. It seems as though your ticket to success is based on how well-liked you or your team is with upper management rather than on actual job performance. Credit Karma and most of upper management like to claim that there is an open door policy but it's just not true. The CEO is very standoffish and doesn't know everyone's name as someone claimed in another review (they're hiring like crazy - there's no way he could) and most of upper management seems to have checked-out (cashed-out) with the recent financial success. Hiring and growth is happening too fast.

A lot of micro-managers in each of the departments and lack of transparency in controversial decisions between management and everyone else. The start up vibe means the lack of work-life balance and ridiculous expectations at times. The company is still somewhat flat and young, meaning the managers usually have been there for a while. They have complete say in everything going on in their team, but that doesn't mean everything makes sense or is fair. This ties back to the micro-managers. Benefits and salary are no where near the market standards. The start up "perks" aren't that great compared to its competitors, especially in the Bay Are market - no free meals on a daily basis, no gym memberships or assistance with that, no extra perks for commuters/transportation, no 401K matching, limited PTO days, etc.
