      Engineering Manager Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Credit Karma in Feb 2022

      Interview

      Three interview sessions, one with a recruiter, one with direct line manager, and one 4 hour session with 4 stakeholders (peers, technical, HR). All went well, communication was good, people were nice although a number of interviewers mentioned that they were stressed a lot of the time. After the final session, communication with Credit Karma went dead. No feedback, no updates, etc. Chased them up for feedback after a month but again no contact or even an acknowledgment of my email. I'm assuming at this point a number of months later after numerous attempts at a follow up I will not be receiving a job offer! However, feedback would have been appreciated from a company that seems to push the "culture" of openness they have internally.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Credit Karma

      Interview

      Short version: think twice before interviewing here. They are disorganized, and they will waste your time. Full version: CK was disorganized and slow in arranging an on-site interview, they had to reschedule a few times as people were on vacation and they weren't sure who should interview me. On the day of, they still had to substitute for someone who was out of the office. On the night before flying out, I checked the interview reviews on here. I probably wouldn't have gone out there if I'd read the reviews on here earlier, but since it was already set up I went ahead. Unfortunately I had the same negative experiences as so many others here and ultimately I regret wasting my time. CK put together a schedule of 6 different interviews, including lunch with the hiring manager. This ended up being the weirdest thing about the whole experience. This was described as a casual discussion over lunch. Sounds fine, right? As the schedule was tight, I expected we would be eating onsite rather than going out. The night before they asked me to choose my lunch from a menu online of salads and sandwiches. When I showed up I got a bag of CK branded stuff including a made-in-China Moleskine knock-off notebook (I guess they were too cheap to spring for the real thing), a pen, breath mints (probably more for their comfort than yours), and tissues (in case you get emotional about how badly you want to work there, no doubt). The interviews themselves were pretty much as expected, except for one interviewer asking aggressively about scaling issues that had nothing to do with the role or team I was interviewing for, and pushing me to speculate about how I would have handled scaling on a previous project where scaling was not an issue. This was kind of weird, but it's not that unusual for interviewers to have an agenda that has nothing to do with the job. I wish I had pushed back a bit though because these questions were totally irrelevant to the role. The weirdest part of the day by far was the supposed "discussion over lunch". Rather than me and the hiring manager leaving the little interview room and getting lunch, this is what happened: an HR person showed up a minute before and said "here's your salad". Then the hiring manager showed up and re-introduced himself and sat down and started talking... I said "where's your lunch?" and he made some kind of noises like "don't worry about it". So at this point I realized that the "lunch" was actually me eating while my interviewer watched! Hello? This is exactly the opposite of a casual discussion over lunch! Honestly I should have just walked out at this point, but I was just taken aback and so I sat there eating my little Caesar salad from the plastic box, in the same room that all the interviews were in, and which smelled like Caesar salad for the rest of the afternoon. It wasn't until later that I thought about how bizarre this was. Isn't sharing a meal with someone that you are going to potentially work with a pretty basic thing? What kind of confused company thinks that watching someone eat is the same thing as having a discussion over lunch? It really makes you wonder, if they get things like this wrong, what else are they getting wrong? It's a red flag for work-life balance and generally knowing how to treat people. It almost made me wonder if it was some kind of behavioral interviewing technique to see how you handle an awkward situation... "here's your salad". But I think it's just incompetence. Finally, after all that, I had the same experience as so many others here: nothing from CK. Just nothing. Reached out a few days later to see if they had any feedback from the interviewers... and nothing. Just ghosted. Not even a generic "thanks for applying" email, just total radio silence from them. Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone reading here, but it's unprofessional. Anyway, if they treat applicants this way, how must they treat their employees? I see that CK is replying to the negative reviews here with something like "we're sorry you had a bad experience". Save it, please. All it would have taken is a little thought and common politeness and professionalism to do better than this. The time for that is past. Save your efforts from damage control and fix your process.

      Question 1

      A simple algorithm question, some questions about scaling that were irrelevant to the role or my experience, and a variety of other pretty good questions about design and handling specific management challenges.

      Engineering Manager Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Credit Karma (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I had originally connected with Credit Karma via an employee referral and met up with a couple of people in their engineering organization. Those meetings went well so several months later I decided to apply for a position there and was invited for an onsite interview. Unfortunately the process for the onsite was pretty disorganized. I asked for some general guidance on how to prepare for the interview and was told "we don't really know." The onsite was originally scheduled to last nearly all day, but when I arrived in the morning I was told they had cut out two sessions at the end because people like to leave early on Friday afternoons. Okay, but didn't they know the day of the week in advance? The different conversations during the onsite generally went fine, however about mid-way through the process it dawned on me that the job I was interviewing for that day might not the same as the job I had originally discussed with them. That is also understandable as needs obviously can change over several months, but why didn't they clarify that with me beforehand? At the end of the onsite I let them know that I was actively interviewing and expected to choose an offer soon. A couple of weeks later I got a message from them asking for a meeting to discuss feedback. I replied promptly but they never acknowledged my response. Several days later I let them know I had taken another offer and again received no response at all, not even a form letter rejection. I assume they didn't plan to make me an offer but I don't actually know. This is pretty bad, anyone who comes for an onsite interview should receive a clear decision. My overall impression of the organization is that for a relatively small company they are very leadership-heavy (or title-conscious) with lots of managers, sr. managers, directors, sr. directors, etc. but maybe not enough people to do the actual work.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Mostly behavioral, focusing on project and people management with some light technical and architectural discussion.
