I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Happen Bank (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
The first step was looking at their online jobs portal for open positions. I saw that I was qualified for the member support representative position, so I applied and filled out their supplementary questionnaire for the position. The online application involved inputting basic info about skills and education, but also included a multiple choice form to gauge applicant personality traits. I took issue with some of the questions, as they ofter set out an either/or choice between 2 options when I would have preferred to select both or neither options. I didn't get too hung up on it though. I got a call back from a recruiter at LC within about a week, and did a short phone screen. The recruiter then emailed me with an offer for an on-site interview. The interview process involved a short tour and introduction with the recruiter, followed by 2 one-on-one interviews, first with a mid-level manager, followed by the supervisor I'd be working under. Both interviewers asked questions about my customer service background, including asking me about any tough service situations I'd encountered in previous positions. After the interview process, it took a few days for the recruiter to get back to me with a conditional offer. The background check (criminal history, verification of resume & education, credit check) took about a week to clear following that. I was concerned about my credit check (I had roughly $1500 credit card balance - almost my credit limit on the card), but it all went through fine. I think that the credit check only raises a red flag if one or more of you're accounts is in default. After the background check cleared, it took another 2 days for the recruiter to get back with my final offer letter. Entire process took about 3 weeks from start to finish.
One bit of advice - I think the interviewers really appreciate it if the candidate asks poignant questions about LC when prompted, it will help a lot if you do some serious research on the company and prepare some good questions which draw a connection between the company and your own interests or goals.

The interview process was timely and organized. I interviewed with two different people. The only thing I did not like was the interview questions. I don't feel like they should be so vague and annoying.

Question 1
They asked me about a goal that I had had and what helped me achieve it, or if I didn't achieve it, what kept me from achieving it.

Interview
Recruiter called for a phone screen, she was late to the appointment. Rushed through the phone screen and didn't seem to care what I had to say. Followed up with email a week later, still no reply; not even a rejection email. No courtesy, I got the message.

Interview
I first applied in September. The recruiter called me wanting to do a quick phone interview to know my background. It went well. She mentioned that the member support role was filled at the moment and no longer looking for candidates but she mentioned that there is a project coordinator role that matches my resume and told me to email her if I am interested.
A day later I sent out an email reaching out my interest on the role. 2 days passed no reply, I sent out another email thinking she missed it. Again, No reply.
Now recently she called me in Dec telling me that the member support role was open again and wanted me to come in for an interview. So I took that chance.
When I got to Lending Club. I had to sign in with the receptionist. Waited for the recruiter to come get me and bring me to the room. She gave me advice for the interview and told me to be myself.
She left and a few min later the first Member Support lead came in to interview me. She was super nice, bubbly and energetic. I spent about 30 min interviewer with her. There were a few laughs here and there. I thought I did well.
She left and the 2nd Member Support lead came in. With her, my interview felt like 5 minutes. From what I remember she only asked me 3-4 questions. She was quick and went to the point. She seemed nice but not as energetic or happy as the first one. She just went straight to the point. I felt I could've done better. After the interview was the waiting game.
A week later I reached out to the recruiter asking what the status of my application is at. If they are considering me or going with other candidates. Again no reply, then a few days later I emailed. No reply. Its been alomost 3 weeks and I tried one final time. thinking maybe theyre on PTO since it was the holidays and AGAIN. No reply.
During the interview they were saying how they're all about growing, getting better and using feedback to improve. I read in the past reviews that one person also didnt get an email back.
Here is some feedback. When a candidate is applying, at least let them know that they didn't qualify for the position. Also, the recruiter can work on her communication skills. She seems to never respond. this also happened to other folks that I know that applied.
Seems like a nice place to work at but oh well... I would've been ok with me not getting the job. More upset that they didn't get back to me and the lack of communication.
