Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The phone interview was OK. All the rounds and interviewers were good, except the Director. He showed up 25 minutes after the scheduled time with a lame excuse and was outright rigid. He kept asking the same question of why LendingClub. Your recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn; I didn’t apply for it.

LendingClub is Java-heavy, and they don’t care about your problem-solving skills if you don’t know the frameworks they use.

LendingClub Work Experiences

A Sunken Ship in Zombie Mode

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: It is easy to have a work-life balance.

Cons: The company took a hard turn downwards a couple of years back. The culture is gone, the motivation of employees is non-existent, and the vision is a continual misdirection of flashy, half-baked ideas and corner cutting. With no innovation at all, the talented people have left.
