Pros

Location Snacks Salary is ok

Cons

One of the amazing things about this company is how people can survive with 0 technical skills? Another amazing things some highly technical people can be put so much behind the train, I guess only to keep people upfront feel good about themselves. This company has so many flows in their processes but no one wants to hear it. Middle management pretends that everything is under control, they simply does not want to be on the bad spot. I would best describe the atmosphere in the company as in the in the movie "The Truman Show" where CEO of Lending Club can be compared to Truman Burbank the main character of the movie.

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.
