Pros
The amenities are great - snacks, game rooms, massage, acupuncture, and lounges. The Benefits are great- Employees fully paid for, spouse is covered for 50% of the cost. Lots of Changes - We're still growing as a company and it's exciting to see what our goals are and how we're going to achieve them. Be more transparent. Take time to check in on your team, not just on logistical things, but on emotional things. Recognize us as humans. Try to provide more learning opportunities and time for creativity. I would also love to see more curiosity in our leadership.
Cons
Lots of changes - Our team has gone through a lot of transitions and I don't feel they were handled as well as they could have been. With such a small team, we would have benefited from more transparency and stronger lines of communication. Sterile environment - lendingClub is first, and foremost, a call center. So our spaces are catered to fit the needs of the call center which often means maximizing floor space with cubicles and having lots of walls to absorb sound. For someone who thrives off open, creative spaces, this place has been challenging for me to adapt to. Lack of community - each department feels separate from each other. There's not a lot of cross-engagement or encouragement to engage with other departments. I'm a creative type, so I really thrive in places that encourage creativity, curiosity, and exploration. This environment isn't right for me, but it might be perfect for someone else.
