Pros

Helping SMBs by charging them exorbitant rates.

Cons

The turnover, especially at the Director level and above is genuinely astonishing. Several dozen left throughout my experience. Regardless of team, tenure and most importantly results, you will see a revolving door of employees leaving. The fact that there are now 4 offices, means that senior leadership should do everything within their power to communicate and disseminate a cohesive message with clearly defined goals and metrics. They simply do not, rather they obfuscate this message which manifests into confusion and an overall breakdown of trust. Furthermore, the lack of direction from a product perspective is comical - acquiring companies, spending countless hours and money on projects, only to discard and sunset the product/project and people after years of the product failing happened numerous times during my tenure. Axis is a pipe dream with very little potential due to the lack of investment. Leadership is not to be trusted (unless you are a fellow member of the LDS Church, that is). Senior leaders talk out of both sides of their mouth, and do not properly acknowledge both wins and losses accordingly. As an employee, you will not be judged by your contributions and demonstrated value, you will be tossed aside for a cheaper, less productive employee. I saw this happen routinely. Lastly, the structure of the company has no consistency, leadership changes it every couple of quarters without warning and it makes no sense. Macroeconomic head winds and continued high interest rates, coupled with a severe lack of defined product roadmap features leaves Lendio with few longterm prospects. Totally bearish on the future of this company.

Pros

The office is nice, there are some good people (not in management) and the food is nice

Cons

Where do we start?? Leads are sent to friends of managers, brown nosers and yes men first, the rest are sent out to the peasants. Favoritism runs rampant, rewards, shout outs and trips are given to the same people over and over, not due to performance but because they're hand fed goldend opportunities, I personally saw a top performer close 5 deals without ever speaking to the customer, just let the deal be tee'd up and then coasting while dinking around the office acting like he rules the kingdom. Managers are shallow, money hungry liars who care more about their appearance and stock holders than the people, like they used to. CANNOT recommend staying away enough!!

Thank you for the time you gave to Lendio and for leaving this feedback — even when it's hard to hear, it's important that we do. Fairness on the sales floor — how leads are distributed, how wins are recognized, and how managers show up for their teams — are things we take seriously. The nostalgia in your advice isn't lost on us. A culture where new reps get celebrated, coaching is genuine, and people feel like they belong is something worth fighting to keep. We're not interested in defending the gaps — we're interested in closing them. If you'd be willing to share more about your experience, we'd welcome that conversation.
