            Pros

            Pre-pandemic and acquisition by Enova, OnDeck was a good place to work with the potential to be great. I think the pandemic and subsequent hard times that led to the Enova acquisition changed the culture of the company which is quite different from when I first started working there over 10 years ago. One credit I'd give to current Enova management which is a huge one is that they are selective in both hiring and firing employees (letting employees go via layoff and poor performances were more commonplace under previous management). They may be more selective in hiring new employees but they don't easily let them go once they hire staff.

            Cons

            Not sure it is necessarily a con... but it is now more of a financial service company (a very profitable and prudent one) than a tech company that never was under the previous management company.

                        OnDeck was amazing until the Enova acquisition. Once acquired the team and company culture drastically changed and the management team was not the same.

                      Graduate Student

                      Hi! Looking for some advice regarding hiring processes. I completed 2 interviews with the company and they emailed to say they "want to put me forward for the job" and asked for references, passport, and for me to do a background check. I didn't hear anything for a week, so then emailed to check on my application status. They responded saying they would get back at the end of that week. Its been 2 weeks since. I emailed last week to ask for an update and have not received a response. Thoughts?

                      Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

                      Administrative Assistant

                      I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.
