Pros

Co-worker are great, free food in the break room.

Cons

This company is so unorganized and treat employees like they are children. I had been in the financial industry for over 5 years and moved over to SoFi, It was a huge mistake. They micromanage so much, they won't let you talk on the floor (you literally get shushed by someone walking around) I was promised to work 8-5 in the interview, and once 5 weeks of very disorderly training was completed they said I needed to go to a 1:45-10:30 shift. they finally moved me to the morning shift (after me showing them countless emails stating the hours I agreed to they gave me the early shift (5:00-1:30) so still really awful hours. this place has horrible moral and worse management that they try to cover it up as hip and cool.

It’s disappointing to hear your experience did not live up to your expectations. This is not the type of work environment we want here at SoFi. We will discuss your feedback with the Ops leadership team and take appropriate steps to address your concerns.

Pros

* People who work at SoFi truly believe in and work to further the mission of helping our members reach their financial goals. *While the salaries offered are much lower than I was able to receive elsewhere, the benefits package is extremely competitive (paid lunch, fully covered health insurance, unlimited vacation, $200/month towards student loans, etc) *I experienced one of the best managers of my life at SoFi who continues to be a mentor of mine. *Overall, my experience at SoFi was immensely positive. The skills I learned and the ownership I felt over my projects will always be invaluable to me.

Cons

*The marketing organization grew increasingly political during my tenure, where some people focused on optics versus results. *The company has a nearly non-existent parental leave policy--basically, the legal minimum. What kind of a message does that send to women and people with families? *Each office has an incredibly different culture from one another. Despite the somewhat recently implemented company-wide initiatives, each office still feels like its own company.

We love hearing about your great experience with us and learning that your managers truly made a difference to your professional life during your tenure here. Thanks to your suggestion regarding parental leave. As part of our efforts to further embrace diversity, we are in the process of re-evaluating all of our benefits offerings – a compelling parental leave policy is one of the exciting offers we’re working to put in place. Amazing things are happening at SoFi, and we can’t be more thrilled!

Pros

You are surrounded by a lot of smart people. Most of the people in the engineering staff are very helpful, friendly and welcoming to new hires.

Cons

There was a leadership crisis. Most team leads are not qualified to lead. There is no clear communication between leader and follower. Most managers don't know how to manage.

As part of our core values, we are always thinking of ways to make our footprint bigger and help each other grow. We are wrapping up the first phase of our leadership training with all our managers, and will soon launch phase two of the training to deliver even more impactful topics to elevate our people leaders.
