Pros

Many companies talk about reshaping an industry, but Lending Club is one of the select few that is actually achieving this lofty goal. Growth comes in monthly leaps that just seem to keep accelerating, leading to ever-larger opportunities. While every company talks about scale, we really (have to) mean it, which leads to an intriguing focus on how do we keep more efficient and do bigger things. Working here is definitely a chance to be a part of something special. Overall, company is stocked with really great people working towards a common goal. Surprisingly good work/life balance and plenty of opportunities to make friends.

Cons

With rapid growth can come rapid change, which can be turbulent. Your role and expectations can be radically different every six months - the bar keeps getting higher - but that generally leads to bigger and better opportunities for those who are willing to step up and do more. If you're looking for a job where you punch in, make your widgets and then punch out, this is not the place for you you.

Pros

It's a tad different than a "bank". There aren't impossible expectations here. Even better, it's easy to make friends here. The happy hours are fun and people are willing to hang out after work. It's not the same 'cold professionalism' you'd see at other places. You can confide in people. Management is good for the most part. They seem to avoid, at all costs, pushing the tenseness of growth/sturcturation on their employees. This is not a bad thing. They are functionally your advocates. It's a good working environment for people with cool demeanors. Regardless, if you work hard you will see growth. The company affords many opportunities, you just need to be patient.

Cons

Sometimes things aren't too clear, but that comes with any start-up. There are growing pains and formal processes are being established. Changes can be a bit mystic for many.

Awesome Place to try ideas

Pros

Visionary leadership, really smart executive team, and a willingness to try new ideas makes this an awesome place to work. The culture is fun and energetic, they pay 100% of medical, have free gym membership, pay well, and plenty of opportunity to make contribution and be visible. The business model is disrupting an old existing business with technology, which provides a worthwhile calling as well.

Cons

This is a great place to work, having a hard time coming up with anything negative to say. Ideally we would have free lunch and dinner, but the snacks are high quality.
