Lendable (UK) Reviews

- Burnout is rampant and treated as a personal failing rather than a direct result of poor leadership and structural dysfunction. - There is no meaningful support system. You're left to navigate complex responsibilities alone, with little to no guidance, and then blamed when things fall through the cracks. - The culture is hollow, a series of surface level gestures that are out of touch with what people actually need to feel safe, valued, or seen. - Progression is opaque at best and political at worst. Promotions and pay rises are inconsistent, often reserved for those who play the game rather than those who deliver impact. - Constructive feedback is virtually non-existent. When issues arise, you're either ignored or punished, not coached or developed. - HR serves to protect leadership and company optics, not the people. - Concerns are brushed aside, and trust in the function is practically nonexistent. - Performance improvement plans are weaponised. They're often handed out without warning or context, used to create paper trails rather than real development opportunities. - Attrition is sky high. People disappear quietly and frequently, and no one ever stops to ask why. It’s treated as normal, even expected. - Leadership operates in a vacuum. Decisions are made behind closed doors, accountability is rare, and the story changes depending on who’s listening.

Lendable advises new employees to write reviews on glassdoor as they have just started in the company and everything is perfect and fun. Many managers and team leaders are not experienced in dealing with progression and people management or complex conversations. In order to progress, you will need to participate in socials and make friends with the relevant people . A lot of connections are built about the social aspect and if you are not the one to like to socialise outside of working hours with your colleagues you will possibly will not “fit in”. What you will also find is the managers are usually are swamped with meetings and will have 0 time for you and you will not get any regular 1-1, feed back or progress chats with them ( at this point you will barely even see them)
