It's been a privilege to grow with Credit Karma through both the good and bad times over 5+ years. No company is perfect (CK is no exception). I am proud of the work we have done, the things we've learned, and the relationships we've forged. And there's never been more opportunity ahead of us!
public company equity = it's real
the blend of idealism and pragmatism
They are smart, curious, humble, hardworking nerds with whom I love to collaborate and spend time
we've invested a lot of time and effort into removing personal bias from the interview process
my team is packed with smart, hardworking, empathetic, humble humans. i care about these people and they care about me.
The business goals and mission are aligned and in general (and over the long term, but also with a few exceptions), objective truths are valued over false-but-compelling narratives.
The executive team is transparent about what we prioritize and why. Time after time, the decisions they've made reflect a deep desire to take care of CK employees and our member base at this highest level.
Unlocking and scaling high-hanging-fruit strategies, which are the product of large highly-cross-functional teams. We try, we fail, we learn. Then we try-fail-learn over and over and over, each time getting a little better. And then eventually, we try and we win and it's the most rewarding thing.
Liquid equity packages are great, but the most under-rated aspect of CK compensation is the 401k match (re: up to 5% of your salary), which is the only way you can accelerate your 401k contributions beyond the individual max (re: without the match, you're capped at $18k per year)
exec team cares about the mission of the company, our members, and employees. this manifests in the decisions they make and the actions they take. not just in the words they speak. i will never forget the way they led us through the darkest days of the pandemic. gives me hope for capitalism.
