High School All Over Again

Anonymous employee

Pros

They do a lot for their employees and the perks are excellent. Benefits are excellent as well, and it is located in the heart of the Financial District, so no shortage of great places to walk to on your lunch break.

Cons

The environment reminds me of high school - it seems as though they only hire a "certain type" of person. The working environment is way too stressful and they do not know how to delegate work loads. When I started, it was great, but the chaos sneaks up on you. I was first working 10 hour days, then 12 hour days, then 14 hours plus evenings and weekends and so on - there was no life outside of Lending Club and you are expected to work even when you are on "vacation". The perks and the benefits are not worth it, at all!

Pros

None. You would think the fact that they are a public company would mean improved practices, resiliency, and maturity. Nope...

Cons

COVID punched a hole in their smokescreen. Sanborn couldn't re-prioritize to make people the priority over the Radius Bank acquisition (pinching pennies). They didn't enforce their investor agreements to protect the business from players who broke their commitments at the onset of the lockdown. Reporting is a joke (no vetting, just publish and we'll scramble to tell people what they want to hear), Whack-A-Mole type operations (more so than non-public FinTechs). Unfortunately, there isn't a zero stars rating.

Lousy Upper Management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Worked with a passionate and talented team. Started with great supervisors who helped not only with the job itself but with my career path.

Cons

2 words. Sexist Director. There were multiple complaints launched against him as well as multiple talented people leaving the company because of him. Management/HR did nothing about it until almost a year in. He caused my experience at LC to be one of the worst and degrading mental experiences I've had. Due to multiple people leaving the team, we were forced to pick up work for a team that should've been 3 times as big, and once again, upper management did not feel the need to step in until things had deteriorated into an almost unfixable mess with Investor Services.
