Pros

Lendinvest is a good place to start your career and get some experience. Pay is okay depending on your role, gender and who you know. Good company benefits. Free drink, yearly offsite and lots of company paid socials.

Cons

A lot of nepotism and big egos, if you're best mates with your manager then you will be promoted. The culture has shifted which is mainly due to the actions of senior management. They have to get involved in every aspect of the business and ultimately their decision is final. There is no trust, even when hiring extremely senior staff members they still have to have the final say. High number leavers (particularly senior, exco level). It is a very unprofessional environment. Warning to new hires, you will be trapped by their outrageous non-compete . If you try to leave the company they will threaten to sue, you regardless of your job level. You are essentially trapped at the company unless you plan on moving abroad or changing industry.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear that you left LendInvest without a better feeling about the company. As a former employee though, you will hopefully remember that we regularly review our employee engagement and satisfaction through quarterly check-ins, tools like Officevibe and by inviting people to ask the exec team any question they like at monthly company updates. All this goes a long way to helping the company understand how people feel about things like colleague/manager relationships, personal growth, recognition and compensation, and to make adjustments as need be. Feedback from our employees is extremely positive right now - our weekly average engagement is 7.7/10. When it comes to compensation we review a lot of market data to ensure salaries are fair and competitive, across all of our teams. We also consider that the non-compete terms in our employment contracts are fair and comparable to other similarly sized and fast-growing tech businesses in the market. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope this goes some way to help you reflect positively on your three years at LendInvest.

Pros

Team was great until all the moving to Glasgow crap with no reasoning

Cons

So many where do I start. To save money people are made to quit the job with no viable able options The diversity is very poor and you have to pretend to be nice and people talk behind your back like chavs The environment is very intimidating in the office in London ans should be careful if you are na introvert they don’t like introverts at all. You have to me happy and talkative all the time to fit in. Severely underpaid and working a seniors job at juniors salary Have to molly coddle certain teams to get stuff done
