Exciting opportunities and so much to learn

Pros

I recently joined Lending Club (less than 3 months ago) and have been amazed at how many different opportunities there are within the company. Coming from a larger company in my previous job, the growth is extremely energizing and that energy permeates each of the 4 floors. There are so many different types of expertise, everyone I meet has something I can learn from them and they are very open to teaching.

Cons

There are so many new people joining all the time which is great but I wish there was a more standardized way to get introduced to new people who join, especially in other parts of the company.

Worst place I've worked at

Pros

Free snacks. Cafe with a barista on site.

Cons

Was laid off (over the telephone) after a few weeks for a very vague reason: "No cultural fit". Somehow, though, I had made it through the on-site interview with six individuals, including a C-level exec. There was a bright red flag on my first day: People were wondering where a certain individual was, and someone's answer was that the individual no longer worked there because of "no cultural fit". Note: A few days before I was laid off, I had a 1-1 with my manager, and there was no mention whatsoever of any issue. Oddly, HR indicated that they would not contest an unemployment claim. Yet, when the State of California called them to verify, incredibly there was no record of my employment. Even if this is an innocent mistake, this reflects very badly on the company. You'd think that a financial company which will probably go IPO at some point would do better in handling records.

Pros

Company is very modest about the achievements already earned, and everyone there is thankful to be a part of it. It seems as if all the workers are on the same page in terms of our purpose, and each worker is working hard to accomplish even more. The work environment consists of very smart and creative people. Due to the nature of the company still being considered in the start-up phase (I think its in its growth stage), even though it is operating in its seventh year, it encourages new ideas, and requires workers to rely on each other to navigate the sometimes new and difficult obstacles that are encountered in daily tasks. The compensation is competitive, and no one has yet openly complained about the wages or benefits. Free Club One membership, 401k plan, full health benefits, paid time off. Amenities mimic that of a start-up with on-site ping pong table, foosball, shuffleboard, 9-hole putting course, and cornhole available for employees to use anytime during work hours, and even after work hours. On-site Barista who makes complimentary drinks. Complimentary snacks including beef jerky, chips of all sorts, red bull, sodas, bagels, fruits, hummus, etc.

Cons

After three months, nothing yet.....
