Pros

- Good work life balance - Good culture that is driven by employees. - Great co-workers - Average benefits - it was once a wonderful place that I was proud to work at, but things have changed drastically.

Cons

- Struggles with profitability. - a long string of poor financial decisions from upper management. - Multiple layoffs but not once has middle to upper management been a part of those. - Very difficult to advance. They do not promote from within anymore, ruining one of the best aspects of working at a startup. - Management is not accountable at all. - Lendio is slowly losing what made them great - after laying off 50% of the company over the last 2 years they still focus on keeping middle management around. They forget they are a startup and should focus on the people that get things done.

Pros

-Beautiful Office -A lot of nice people -Helpful co-workers -A lot of opportunities to learn new things!

Cons

I echo a lot of the sentiments in the recent reviews. I just wanted to add that they laid off over 50% of their software developers over a 12-month period, and 50% of those (several senior level) were let go just 3 or 4 weeks ago. They now have a new job posting for Sr. Software Developer. Wow. Not much else to say on that. At my time there, I didn't really ever feel welcomed or wanted by senior leadership; they never said anything to me unless there were problems or perceived problems with our team. They also ghosted some referrals that team members brought to them. These referrals and went through three interviews, with two interviews in the office where they had to take time out of their day to drive there. It's just plain out of touch and disrespectful.

Pros

Helping SMBs by charging them exorbitant rates.

Cons

The turnover, especially at the Director level and above is genuinely astonishing. Several dozen left throughout my experience. Regardless of team, tenure and most importantly results, you will see a revolving door of employees leaving. The fact that there are now 4 offices, means that senior leadership should do everything within their power to communicate and disseminate a cohesive message with clearly defined goals and metrics. They simply do not, rather they obfuscate this message which manifests into confusion and an overall breakdown of trust. Furthermore, the lack of direction from a product perspective is comical - acquiring companies, spending countless hours and money on projects, only to discard and sunset the product/project and people after years of the product failing happened numerous times during my tenure. Axis is a pipe dream with very little potential due to the lack of investment. Leadership is not to be trusted (unless you are a fellow member of the LDS Church, that is). Senior leaders talk out of both sides of their mouth, and do not properly acknowledge both wins and losses accordingly. As an employee, you will not be judged by your contributions and demonstrated value, you will be tossed aside for a cheaper, less productive employee. I saw this happen routinely. Lastly, the structure of the company has no consistency, leadership changes it every couple of quarters without warning and it makes no sense. Macroeconomic head winds and continued high interest rates, coupled with a severe lack of defined product roadmap features leaves Lendio with few longterm prospects. Totally bearish on the future of this company.
