Pros

On site barista. Free snacks. Close to BART. Massage area.

Cons

If you are rule driven and enjoy being micro managed, this is a perfect place to work. If you like being totally scripted, down to the e-mails (only company approved templates allowed), again Lending Club is for you. In light of the current egregious behavior by the banking industry (money laundering, fraud, etc.), the fixation with the most minor infractions - i.e. saying APR prior to saying Annual Percentage Rate- is preposterous. You will be threatened with dismissal if you make an error and say APR first. You will also have to punch a time clock, every time you come in, leave and return for lunch, and leave for the day. The benefits are marginal for a tech company in SF. No transportation allowance.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
