Rewards the wrong behavior and protects the worst people - Senior Software Engineer Credit Karma Employee Review

Pros

Comp is extremely high, it's literally the only reason people stay. If you've been here over 3 years it's unlikely any company will pay you a base at the level Credit Karma will. Now that revenue certainty is higher and international expansion is underway, at least the IPO is just around the corner.

Cons

You have to put on a fake smile and kowtow to the senior leadership, almost all of which are in roles they have no business being in. In my department we had to research whether the new harassment disclosure laws would require prior settlements to be made known.

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.
