Pros

I love my job at SoFi, Pay is competitive, excellent benefits package, 12 weeks Maternity and paternity leave, top 10% health insurance, SoFi recruits good talent too, so its very rare to come across a... Shall we say "less than qualified" co worker.

Cons

Too much virtue signalling, super liberal company and it doesn't hide it, recently they had an event "Estate planning for LGBTQ folks" like what? everyone needs estate planning assistance. After 4-5 years you'll stop accruing more PTO, and the typical year-over-year raises don't keep up with people coming in fresh, which is disheartening. I generally fall in the top margin of raises YOY for 4 years straight and I still was earning barely a dollar more than the people they had me training. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me, how are you going to chase talent so hard, and do the bare minimum to retain it?

Pros

Great CEO, good growth opportunities and interesting work. Have worked at a lot of finance/fintechs, SoFi is the best by a long shot.

Cons

Benefits could be better, less competitive than other fintechs

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.
