Pros

Majority of the people here are smart, helpful, and have good intentions...CEO is a genuinely nice guy. Solid business model...The company has been around 8-9 years and has promising future (great for early employees, not that exciting for the rest). Work is more meaningful than what youd find at a typical finance company. Also, company events are cool (although they mostly take place after work so people who commute from outside city or have a family are usually left out)

Cons

This is not the place you come to work if you care about your salary. The company was on Techcrunch list for highest paying startups, which was both confusing and offensive to many people who work here as its no secret Credit Karma does not pay competitively. Management is really inexperienced (even running entire departments), constantly touting how great the culture is here and pretty oblivious to how unhappy majority of their team members are. It used to be one of the better places to work but now feels pretty gloomy. I wouldn't be surprised to see many valuable employees walk out the door this year.

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.
