Pros

Creating one of the most innovative and fastest growing companies in financial services is an incredible journey! We word hard on solving interesting, challenging problems and are building up an incredible track record of success. Lending Club's unrelenting growth puts us in very rare air, and it is very satisfying to see how your efforts and ideas can impact the company and our hundreds of thousands of customers. Compensation is at or above market, with a fantastic set of benefits and perks, and of course every employee is also a shareholder, which may lead to some very out-sized rewards! Work/life balance is excellent.

Cons

To thrive here, you need to be able thrive in a fast-paced environment where change is the only constant. Our business more than doubles each year, which means a constant flow of new problems to solve, new opportunities to conquer, and new team members everywhere you look. Your goals and requirements can ramp up very quickly, which can be a bit of shock to those who aren't ready for it.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
