Pros
- Great pay, benefits, equity, etc. - Some really smart people on the team. - Huge budgets, tons of experience in a short amount of time.
Cons
- Things have gone downhill dramatically since Intuit bought the company. More spending/responsibility than ever, hiring at an extremely slow pace for many teams, EVERYONE is burnt out. Stress pours down from the top, it's really not sustainable. - Politics, politics, politics. Both in the professional sense and the societal. If you don't drink the Kool-Aid, suck up to the right people or vote for certain politicians (many public comments at the detriment of Republicans/Conservatives - seriously), good luck. You will forever feel alienated from public Slack channels, peer recognition, company-wide updates, and the truly awful Chief People Officer. - The app is really hard to be motivated to work with; quite frankly, it's mostly taking advantage of poor people for profit. When has taking on more debt or another credit card ever actually helped anyone? - The company mission of "helpfulness" is much more a concept than a reality. Many people make you feel bad for asking for help, and most of the time it seemed like everyone just wanted to prove how smart they were. - Vaccine mandate coming in quick. They've already said that they won't hire people who aren't vaccinated, won't make exceptions for anyone to work-from-home. - No work from home opportunities post-covid. We all bent over backwards to shift our lives and keep the company running (now at a higher level than ever), and there isn't even consideration of allowing people to continue working from home. Honestly, my life has been significantly better since leaving Credit Karma.
