Pros
It’s a great environment for anyone who wants to make a mark! The challenge at a company experiencing such growth is that there are so many problems to solve and not enough people (thus the aggressive growth). It’s very much an environment where you can just start doing things and take ownership over areas that have huge impact. On the engineering side, there are so many great things happening right now. If you want to get in on complicated problems of scaling, services, performance, data, etc., Credit Karma won’t disappoint. Leadership puts a lot of thought into cultural values and what kind of company we want to be. It’s clear that we serve the member and that’s the top priority, which is great. The social culture is great… lot’s of activities and opportunities to mingle outside your group if desired… if you don’t desire, that’s OK too!
Cons
A problem with such rapid growth is office space logistics. I know leadership is highly aware as it comes up in town-hall meetings and other public meetings. We just need to be flexible while plans are worked out.
