Thank you for sharing your candid thoughts with us. We are sorry to hear that your time at Galileo was less than stellar! We are very disappointed to hear you felt there is a culture of nepotism - we do not condone or support favoritism from leadership, and as a company we make decisions based on data. We also recently rolled out a training program for new managers at SoFi, which we plan to also launch for Galileo. The objective is to give managers everything they need to know about managing people, from how to foster inclusion and belonging on their team, to building their personal leadership brand. Our goal is to give all managers the tools they need to support and inspire their teams to do the best work of their lives. We're always looking for ways to improve, so if any additional ideas come up, we encourage you to reach out to email us at glassdoor@galileo-ft.com. Best of luck on your future endeavors!

Pros

One of the fastest-growing fintechs in the U.S. with a lot of opportunity for growth. There’s a clear narrative around improving financial access and building modern financial infrastructure, which resonates with a lot of employees.

Cons

As the company evolves, priorities can change quickly. That creates opportunity, but it can also lead to rework or unclear direction.

Pros

Exceptional Leadership: The leadership team is incredibly strong, fostering a highly capable and forward-thinking environment Deep Subject Matter Expertise: Galileo is filled with key industry SMEs who are truly at the top of their field. This knowledge is invaluable for tackling complex problems in the FinTech space. Agile and Adaptive: The company moves fast with the changing industry currents and market needs. Synergy with SoFI: Being part of the SoFi Holding company offers significant advantages, including immediate brand awareness and access to extensive corporate resources and support. Startup Feel (you’ll also find this in the con!) - Less bureaucracy and more direct impact. Galileo is a high-energy environment. Other things: Great benefits, competitive comp, great culture

Cons

Evolving career pathing: As a rapidly growing company, career pathing is still being developed. While opportunities for growth and learning are abound, the formal structure is less defined than in a mature, large-scale corporation. Start up feel: Less predictable processes and corporate infrastructure then in a larger corporate environment - so you need to be able to move with the company and at their speed.
