Pros

They do a lot for their employees and the perks are excellent. Benefits are excellent as well, and it is located in the heart of the Financial District, so no shortage of great places to walk to on your lunch break.

Cons

The environment reminds me of high school - it seems as though they only hire a "certain type" of person. The working environment is way too stressful and they do not know how to delegate work loads. When I started, it was great, but the chaos sneaks up on you. I was first working 10 hour days, then 12 hour days, then 14 hours plus evenings and weekends and so on - there was no life outside of Lending Club and you are expected to work even when you are on "vacation". The perks and the benefits are not worth it, at all!

Pros

New office, new name, same great company. Good growth opportunity where you can see your impact.

Cons

Not a huge con, but better snacks or catered lunch would be a plus.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
