… ensuring there is no “typical” LendingClub employee.

We also have an immigration program, conduct diversity training, promote open collaboration around core company values, develop diversity statements and have above-industry-average stats when it comes to having an inclusive work culture.

LC also ensures clear, organization-wide communication by hyper-focusing on two main platforms, to which all employees are held accountable.
