I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Credit Karma (San Francisco, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Something felt off about the place when I walked in the door. I should have walked away, but that would have been rude. The whole experience felt impersonal and seemed a burden.
It didn't seem like anyone was excited to work there. "Growth" was mentioned whenever anyone described the company or their day.
When anyone said it was "fun" to work there, I had the distinct impression that they were speaking about that superficial culturally bland kind of fun... fake laughs about the weather & such. I was not a cultural fit.
I'm sure there are great personable people there, I only wish they were in the interview instead.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback on your interview experience with us. Looks like we were not a fit for you. We want to wish you all the best in your job search. Hope you land somewhere that's a good match for you!

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Credit Karma (Charlotte, NC) in Sep 2022
Interview
The process involved a preliminary HR screen, a technical overview discussion, and then a series of coding assessments and a design architecture exercise. Overall it took a couple of weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The coding assessments focused on standard JS patterns - knowing basics of algorithms, array handling, etc. Having a fundamental grasp on JS/TS should take you through these comfortably. The design exercise was more subjective and covered optimization, performance, etc.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Credit Karma in Sep 2022
Interview
Had a call with the recruiter. She only asked me questions like why Credit Karma and what impact do you want to make on the company. Didn't get to the next round, I feel its unfair that my experience and work was not taken into consideration.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Credit Karma
Interview
Let me tell you CK recruiters are unprofessional the way they conduct themselves and even in the email. No respect for you. The recruiter contacted me and we had initial call. He setup initial phone screen. I asked recruiter what will be the format of phone screen. He answered generically it'd be DSA question so, prepare accordingly. Coming to my phone screen the manager who was supposed to take interview didn't join and some mid level engineer joined after 10 minutes. Instead of asking DSA question he copy pasted some long Java Design question which had 3 sub questions. I got 2 of them right. But, for 3rd one was not passing the test interviewer created because the interviewer himself was not of Java background and got confused about float and double. 2 days later as usual general email of rejection. I told recruiter what had happened and when I can apply again but, didn't get any reply. I have gone through FAANG interview process and they have recruiters who are so, professional and friendly. They provide the feedback and something goes wrong they'd try to help you. But, CK is no match of FAANG when it comes to recruiting process.
