OnDeck Reviews

Pros

I have been working at Ondeck for almost 4 years and has seen an incredible transition from last year when there were layoffs and a lot of attrition. Ondeck has made an amazing turnaround from last year and now is a profitable and stable company. There is a lot of engineering talent here and lots of cool initiatives that have been happening which will really help an engineer. Most of the negative reviews are from people who were unfortunately part of the layoffs. But things have changed a lot here and I would highly recommend Ondeck from engineering point of view. Lots of smart people to learn from and lots of cool and new technologies to learn here. My experience has been very positive here and I hope Ondeck keeps investing in technology and engineering.

Advice to Management

Please continue to invest in technology and engineering.
Please have more 1:1 between engineers and higher management to fill in the gaps if any.

Pros

OnDeck has gone through a few ups and downs in the last few years, but came out on top in 2018. The hard decisions that were made in 2017 ended up having a positive impact on the company and our culture eventually bounced back. We've had numerous former employees (who left during the tough part of 2017) actually come back to join the company.

In my own work, I have loved the chance to make an impact and bring new ideas to the table. The leadership trusts you to make decisions and have ownership.

I work with many cross-functional teams and everyone is intelligent with no egos...all working towards the same goals.

I'm super excited to be a part of OnDeck's next stage and looking forward to seeing where the company goes over the next few years.

Advice to Management

I love the overall transparency of why big decisions are made. Keep listening to your employees to ensure you're keeping everyone happy and challenged.

Collaborative, tech-forward, great benefits, start-up mentality with the budget of an established company.

Advice to Management

Needs to be equal towards men and woman.

- You get the perfect combination of mature startup culture along with the stability of a well-capitalized company

Advice to Management

Encourage more current employees to support the company externally. Current engagement scores are very high, so this should be reflected in ratings like on Glassdoor!
