Pros
- flat company architecture (everyone is approachable) - get to feel like "the dumbest person in the room" on a regular basis (a positive thing!) - collaborative atmosphere with openness to new ideas - Small Business Department is like a start-up within a fast-growing company. We have the benefits of infrastructure with the excitement of building out a new area of Lending Club. - rapid growth leads to developing corporate culture - it's neat to be a part of that formation - transparency/being able to believe in what you're doing
Cons
- company is growing so fast that it's hard to get to know all of the new faces - as a product of growth as well, training is not as consistent as it could be It would be great to have brown bag sessions with member of the Executive Team. Connection with senior leadership was really the only piece missing from my initial experience with Lending Club.
