Pros

Unfortunately I couldn’t stay there for too long because of a personal situation. But SoFi is possibly the best company I have worked for in my entire 15+ year professional career. What’s to like: - Rockstar CEO and very experienced and amazing senior executives especially on the Risk and Modeling side - Empathetic senior leadership - they were very understanding about my personal circumstances - Top notch infrastructure: the best, no expenses spared here - Talented rank and file - people do amazing work here and they hire only the best - Innovative and challenging work and lots of great products and projects to work on - HR doesn’t advertise this too much, but the benefits are very good - no premiums on health insurance, tuition reimbursement and payments towards student loans etc. - Free lunches; free rides on the PresidiGo, snacks... - They are working very hard at building a culture and a company for the long term future

Cons

All the snacking makes you gain weight? Not sure if there are any cons I can think of at all. This shop is stellar.

Pros

You are only required to work from the office 1 day of the week and the rest from home. The Benefit package is great. The company has free snacks, fruits and drinks at the office and it provides the employees with lunch at least once a month while at the office.

Cons

You are literately a modern day slave with low pay and a tone of work. After a few months you have to get upskilled (more work) without any additional compensation. You are constantly evaluated: First call resolution is huge, the goal is for the member not to have to call back in at least a week. The company wants the call to last less than 5 minutes (or you get dinged). The company wants the members to respond to the surveys and if they don't it counts against you. if you go on chats, you will have to serve maneuver between two different once at the same time. You ONLY get a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. It is difficult to go to the restroom because while on the phones there is NO actual bathroom disposition and so you will get dinged and if it takes you longer than 5 minutes you get a message from intrudium informing you that you are out of adherence. The technology is the worse I have ever had to work with. It uses a program called Zscaler that is constantly disconnecting and when it does, it interrupts all of the other programs that are required to work with, in which case you have to inform WFM that you are having tech issues either by telephone or by sending a Workflow and hope it gets approved. While in training you are informed that you will only get paid up to 1 hr while having a tech issue. Workflows are huge and used for everything, including if you are suppose to clock out for the day but you are still on a call and it makes you go over 5 minutes (or you get dinged). Putting in for PTO or Sick Time is also not easy either, it's all about the companies needs so, hopefully you will get approved or maybe not. H.R. is only there a bit while you are hired and of course if you are let go but other than that, not sure what they do because there is no real connection.
