LendingClub Reviews

Pros

- LendingClub is a great place to work. I've worked at the company for 3+ years and every day is new, unique, challenging and interesting. I'm able to be creative on a daily basis. Great ideas can come from anywhere -- not just from the top. To me, LendingClub is a hybrid between a startup and a more established company, which means there is some structure but also lots of ability to think outside the box.
- The company is full of talented people who are willing to pull together to get work done, no matter their title or job description. Employees are dedicated to changing the way that people borrow and invest.
- It's also family friendly -- I had my first child 2 years ago while working at the company, and am expecting my second now. The company has consistently and actively asked for my (and others moms') feedback on how to make LendingClub a great place for working moms. Just in the last few months, they've increased their maternity leave policy, added new nursing rooms, and added a phased return to work program to help moms transition back after their leave. Pretty awesome.

Advice to Management

Keep looking ahead! There's so much opportunity right around the corner.

Great perks, awesome executive team, good location.

Advice to Management

Company is starting to feel much more like financial services than tech.

Pros

Great energy working at this company! It's an excellent job for a recent college graduate or for someone looking to transition into the corporate world. If you perform well in your first 6 months - year, you can pick a career path into a variety of different departments. I learned so much working here, and the support from management is amazing. Great benefits, great location.

Advice to Management

Sometimes there can be a lack of clarity for purpose behind things. However, you gain more insight the longer you stay with the company.

Pros

Stock options, great perks, casual work environment.

Advice to Management

Just because one is knowledgeable does not mean one can lead and develop others.

Pros

Good work life balance and technology

Pros

The people here are genuinely nice. A lot of people in this department are young and the culture is generally very positive and open when it comes to networking within your department. There are free snacks and drinks on every floor, as well as plenty of benefits and perks (happy hours, massages, free gym, fitness incentives).

Advice to Management

There's a high turnover rate for a reason. Think about what you're asking of your employees -- do you want them to value your customers and provide them with high quality service (even if it takes more than 5 minutes!), or do you want them to get customers off the phone so employees can "help" the next person ASAP?

Pros

1. Lending club cares about its employees.
2. Salaries, at least in tech, are at par with market.
3. Break rooms are stocked with snacks and drinks
4. Opportunities to learn more/change teams.
5. Decent health plans, though better for individuals, not so good for families.
6. Employee surveys are taken seriously.
7. In most teams, work life balance is good.
8. Business has lot of potential.

Advice to Management

CxOs need to prove their worth by bringing new product lines, expanding the business. HR needs to improve health plans for families. Reduce no of managers, at least incompetent ones.

Pros

New President is promising, but time will tell. Snacks and ice cream sometimes dull the pain described in the next section.

Advice to Management

Stop kidding yourself that people are leaving because of lack of structure or speed of business. People will stick around and work hard if there are strong and credible leaders.

Pros

Team outings and company culture

Pros

Google-like perks and amenities coupled with adult drive and leadership.
Extremely helpful co-workers with a unified drive to succeed.
Understands quality of life as well as supports personal ambition.
