Want to Actually Innovate?

Pros

I have worked for many companies in Fintech - since long before the space was called Fintech. This is one of the best. It reminds me of Schwab in the 1980s and Intuit in the early 1990s - both of which I worked for. It is energetic and exciting - truly innovative. We are actually providing services people need with a business model that offers sustainability and growth.

Cons

Innovation is hard. The actual process is sometimes not smooth or pretty. If you are looking for a place you can skate and vest - look someplace else. Also, with all the food around, weight gain is an issue.

Fast moving, smart people, big mission

Pros

- The company moves rapidly. On the product side, things go from idea to implementation faster than any other financial services company out there. Operations have scaled up considerably, with more people and locations coming online every month. - Everyone has a chance to contribute. It's a fairly open culture, so questions and advice are welcome and encouraged. People are generally collaborative and open to helping you think about problems and solutions. - Unlike a lot of players in fintech, SoFi isn't just going after some small niche part of personal finance. It wants the full stack, and is moving aggressively to get there. That's a lot more exciting than just being a marketplace lender or just being the dumb data pipe for transactions.

Cons

- Some growing pains with expansion of headcount, but that's true of pretty much all hypergrowth companies. The challenge is in making sure every employee everywhere knows and understands the mission and values, but the company is making this a priority. - More "fin" than pure "tech" (when compared to other players like, say, Stripe), but that also helps the company make a real impact in the finance and investment communities.

Very Rewarding

Pros

Working at SoFi can be very rewarding. There are always new initiatives at work that require a diverse skill set and self determination. Hard work is appreciated and acknowledged here. The company is a fast paced unit -- moving in different directions at once, but all for a cohesive goal. SoFi has been a great place for me, being my first job, in that it's allowed me to work on projects from different departments, to develop my interests. Through the diversity of projects, I've learned skill sets that I will carry with me for years to come.

Cons

There is little to no training.
