Pros

Technology management nurtures a very passionate and engaged team. Very competitive compensation in SF Bay. Great health benefits, free health club, matching 401, and the best part is unlimited vacation policy. The vacation policy speaks volume on the trust management has on their employees in getting the job done. Performance reviews have been positive and promotions well deserved. Quality work is highly sought after and openly recognized. Some of the best people I have worked with; both management and developers.

Cons

Not all teams share the same drive for technical excellence.

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

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.
