Pros

The company was very flexible with employees' schedules and allowed for remote work.

Cons

The executive team seemed to be solely focused on the bottom line and not concerned with the well-being of their employees. The business underwent mass redundancies while simultaneously experiencing significant changes, which left many of us feeling uncertain and unsupported. The company culture was dominated by sales, with little regard for other departments. Sales managers seemed to rule the business to the detriment of other business goals. There was a severe lack of respect for other roles, and sales goals were prioritized over everything else, often leading to other departments being neglected. Senior leaders did not provide clear direction during this transitional period, which led to confusion and frustration among employees. The company culture was marked by nepotism and favoritism, which made it difficult to advance in the company, no matter how hard you worked. Feedback was taken, but it never felt like it was taken seriously, with little improvement or changes being made.

We take all feedback seriously, and we’re sorry to hear you had a negative experience while working with us. We are committed to providing a workplace culture that values the contributions of all, and we continually strive to improve in this area. We appreciate your feedback and take it seriously as we continue to grow and evolve as a company, look after the wellbeing of our employees and provide opportunities for career progression based on merit. We understand that any transitional period can be challenging, and we endeavored to strike a balance between informing employees about the restructure as early as possible and avoiding premature communication that can lead to speculation, rumors, and additional stress. We apologise if you didn't feel that clear directions were given at the time, and we acknowledge any frustration this may have caused. Our support and resources are available to anyone impacted by the changes, including our employee assistance program. Our goal is to position our business for long-term growth and success, and this restructure will enable us to better align resources with our strategic priorities. Sales is a part of those strategic priorities but not the sole focus, and we strive to prioritise other business goals as well. Thank you again for your feedback. We value and give serious consideration to the feedback we receive, as it helps us to progress and develop. If you have any additional feedback you would like to share with us, please don't hesitate to reach out by emailing peopleandculture@lendi.com.au

Pros

Popcorn and Tim Tam's in kitchen.

Cons

Too much micro management especially from the Haymans This place is toxic. Was hired to work on a project and a certain product owner felt threatened. Ask the right questions and get zero answers. Was mandatory to be on site 5 days a week which is fine, however when you get dragged into a meeting at 5pm which finishes at 8pm, and you are expected to still rock up to work at 9am is a joke. People travel to cbd via trains. Product owners think they are a BA's with next to none BA experience. The CEO thinks he is god and has all the solutions and loves the attention. Nah. Will never work there again. Lochie the product owner is the worst. Fat and dumb.
