Pros

An opportunity to work on a well-loved fintech product with some of the smartest people in the industry. Great pay, decent benefits, unlimited PTO

Cons

Unnecessary sense of urgency that comes from the top (unproductive busyness that doesn’t lead to meaningful progress) can lead to long hours. Sometimes I felt like my job was digging a hole for the first six hours of the day then turning around and filling in the same hole for the last six hours.

Hello! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We are obviously biased but we agree that we are lucky to work with some of the smartest people in the world! We are glad that you enjoyed our comprehensive benefits during your time at SoFi. The rate we move (at SoFi, and the industry itself) does feel intense at times, but that's because we are constantly learning, iterating and innovating to continue positioning SoFi for success in the future. We hope you were able to share feedback with your manager and/or PBP during your time here around the long hours you experienced as work/life balance is extremely important to us. Best of luck in your next endeavor. Take Care!
