LendingTree: The Friendly Giant of Online Lending

Meet LendingTree, the nation's largest online lending marketplace. If you've ever wished for a fairy godmother to magically present you with the best deals on loans, credit cards, savings accounts, and insurance, well, LendingTree is the next best thing. They're all about connecting customers with multiple lenders to ensure you get the best bang for your buck. Saving money is their game, and they're pretty darn good at it.

The company's roots trace back to 1996 when our hero, CEO Doug Lebda, decided that house-hunting shouldn't have to be a nightmare. A few magical strokes later, LendingTree was born, initially helping folks find their dream mortgage deals. But why stop there? They've since expanded their enchanted forest to include personal loans, auto loans, business loans, student loans, credit cards, savings accounts, home equity loans, and more.

More Than Just a One-Trick Pony

LendingTree isn't just a one-trick pony. They're a publicly-traded company (TREE) with a knack for adopting other companies into their family. Their goal? To empower borrowers to make the most sensible financial choices. They've even conjured up the LendingTree app and My LendingTree dashboard, giving consumers the magic wand to manage and monitor their financial health.

Culture: Where Magic Happens

At LendingTree, the culture is as vibrant as a unicorn's mane. They're fast-paced with an entrepreneurial spirit. Think of them as the Hogwarts of the financial world - collaborative, ambitious, candid, and high-energy. Their teammates are the brightest wizards and witches you'll ever work with. They care more about your smarts than your dress robes. And they're pretty good at rewarding innovation, creativity, and the knack for just getting stuff done (they even have a GSD award, “Get Stuff Done”).

A Company That Celebrates Diversity

And here's the cherry on top: LendingTree is a company that doesn't just promote diversity and inclusion; they thrive because of these values. They believe that everyone, regardless of race, color, religion (or creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, deserves to find their financial happily ever after.

So, in a nutshell, that's LendingTree - your friendly giant in the world of online lending.
