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, 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.

Pros

Skill Building: There are good opportunities to get hands-on with data, automation, and AI workflows. There is a lot of autonomy to try new things and ownership given to ICs. Things are never boring and I genuinely enjoyed the work itself. Colleagues: You will find some supportive peers and team members who make the day-to-day work easier. Resume Value: The brand recognition and experience gained here are genuinely helpful for future job searches.

Cons

Abrupt Termination: After 11 months in role, my contract was terminated early with no warning (and effective immediately) via a 5 min call with my agency's recruiter. There was no response from management when requesting final sync. Instability/Job Security: The looming integration with Intuit creates a constant backdrop of anxiety. I can tell the company is doing its best to stay competitive and ahead of the curve. However, the immense value placed on automation and AI can make employees feel replaceable and like they're working themselves out of a job. Lack of Process/Planning: Fast-paced and reactive culture. Attempts to introduce better workflows or quarterly planning to manage workload were often met with resistance or dismissed. Without procedures in place, managers also feel the need to micro-manage. Advice for Contractors: Negotiate a 4-week notice period into your agreement so they cannot terminate you immediately without pay. Ensure your agency is offering PTO/Sick time as well. All benefits are negotiable. Do not work overtime expecting loyalty or conversion. Set boundaries.
