LendUp Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

good work life balance daily and

Cons

team size and considering expansion

Pros

Surrounded by incredibly smart people who really care about what they're doing. Flexibility to grow yourself and the business. Very rewarding. Best work opportunity I've ever been given.

Cons

You get pretty invested in your work, and must figure out a good work/life balance. Growing pains associated with rapidly adding new teammates.

Pros

The team here is top-notch, and the work environment is great. There’s a lot of competence and mutual respect throughout the team. Everyone is a genuinely nice person, so it's a friendly place. There's also an impressively reasonable work/life balance.

Cons

The pay is reasonable, but lower than you'd get at a large company like Google or Facebook. Also, while you're at the office, you'll be working pretty hard; everyone maintains a fairly intense focus throughout the day.

Pros

Unbelievably smart and driven coworkers. A truly mission driven organization looking to make a difference in people's lives. Opportunity to work on interesting, impactful projects and shape the future of the company.

Cons

Growing quickly sometimes means things fall through the cracks or aren't correctly communicated to everyone who needs to know - certainly never intentional, but a side effect of being a fast growing startup. Sometimes hard to achieve work/life balance.

Pros

Location Lunch is provided 5x/week Fun and smart group

Cons

Disgruntled and disrespectful HR department Pressure not to speak to other employees Toxic workplace Lack of communication from CEO and Executives Extremely high turnover in HR Lack of work/life balance Awkward and uncomfortable communication Horrible vendor relations

Pros

I never understood what people meant when they said "I enjoy coming to work everyday" until I started working at LendUp. The culture here at LendUp is its greatest asset. My coworkers are humble and practical, and they work on hard tasks with positive energies. Employees here prioritize integrity, and they speak to one another with a productive blend of candor and kindness. Employees are also really witty and funny. I get in a lot of laughs throughout the day. It's very rewarding to work at a company that is mission-driven like LendUp, because you get to work with individuals who are just as passionate about the cause as you are.

Cons

When you walk into the office, the floor is silent. Everyone is typing away at their screen, focused on their work. While walking through the office, this may give the impression that it's the type of place where it's easy to burn out from working hard, but you are wrong. The work is all consuming because it's interesting, meaningful, and important work that needs to be done. And work life balance here is very reasonable!

Pros

Everyone is strongly motivated by the social mission. Strong leadership with bold vision and relevant industry experience. Such a warm an inviting culture. Everyone is friendly and are genuinely great people to work alongside every day. Growing extremely fast. New hires starting every week. Company metrics are very good. Strong product market fit. Leadership expects new hires to learn fast, ramp up quickly, and make an impact. There is no standing on the sidelines and waiting for approval - it's a culture of making things happen. Our company cultures are Beautiful office in FiDi with room to grow into. Catered lunches, company events and outings. On site gym. A product that is truly making a difference in people's lives and helping them escape the debt cycle trap.

Cons

It's a complicated product to learn. Would be nice to be able to choose the type of computer we're given (Air, Pro, etc). No catered dinners. Growing extremely quick and we're still figuring out a lot of the organizational and procedural things that go along with that. Especially as you're ramping up and learning the product, work life balance can be difficult. Highly regulated industry and dealing with legal and compliance concerns is very real and very important.

Pros

Social Mission Fun Environment Catered Lunch Product that helps customers

Cons

Preach Meritocracy as a value, but not always the case work/life balance is non existent for some teams, but others seem to work from only 10-4 each day Heavy focus on growth with little regard for the work it creates for teams. Career opportunities are available, but very little development opportunities. Heavy focus on outside hiring.

Pros

•mission is top notch •heavy volume of calls teaches you how to be more confident on the phones •set schedule allows for a good work/life balance

Cons

•work is extremely taxing despite it just being a traditional 9-5 •since this company is in the payday lending space the customers you are dealing with are generally financially stressed, which can make for grueling day to day •calling a spade a spade this is essentially is a call-center position and the company needs to be more transparent on this (P.S. you are not managing accounts) •need to stream line daily process to mitigate attrition--perhaps make this a 3 day a week 10 hour a day position •company does not layout a path towards promotion

Pros

- Strong mission: providing better financial products for sub-prime borrowers - Broadly high quality people across departments - Friendly personalities: don't really encounter egos here - Dog friendly office - Good work/life balance

Cons

- Most talented employees are leaving, for various reasons, but one general impression is that LendUp's has less opportunity to make big innovations. - Pay, at least in some departments, is below industry average - Career growth is not obvious; don't see tons of internal promotions - Noisy office
