Pros

Good health insurance Supposedly half Fridays Some good swag Cool, in the news company

Cons

- Overworking and the expectations to work all the time - Useless swag - Unlimited PTO is kind of a scam if you feel like you’re too busy take work off

Hi! We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave such a candid review and are very sad to hear your experience at SoFi isn't meeting your expectations. While we're glad you are enjoying some of the perks we offer, your comments around work/life balance are concerning. Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the fact that this WFH environment has further blurred the lines (literally!) between work and home, we know this balance is harder than ever; even without additional pressures. You may be interested to hear that part of our new manager excellence trainings will include managing with empathy, which we believe will help address some of your concerns. We're excited to roll that out later this year. Additionally, I've shared your feedback with our People Business Partner and will continue this conversation to address your concerns. If you would like to continue this conversation, you can email us at glassdoor@sofi.org. Thank you for your review, and we really hope to help improve your experience. Take care.

Pros

Ok pay, 100% health premium covered. $120 bi weekly for lunches, bonus quarterly if you qualify. They do free lunches and give out giftcards when you win stuff

Cons

First year there was ok. They let go of a whole mortgage dept and had to volun-tell a whole group of reviewers to move to money or flex. They over hired so they repurposed us for their use which we didn’t apply for. The schedule sucked so bad even when people left the company and their spot opened up, it wasn’t given to anyone else or even a chance to get it. We were monitored by a scorecard but they held our schedules. So we were a business needs team. The entire idea is chaotic. They switch up our schedules with barely any notice and affects our stats. There is no consistency in the job and your lunches and breaks are moved around so much. This is a basic call center job that is back to back calls. There are few managers that are good. Movement upward opportunities is “who you know” so suck up to who you need to move up. They don’t respect you. Culture and any kind of inclusivity is out the door. Its a joke that this place made me feel like my time there was a waste. Lesson learned and moving on from this terrible employer.

Pros

Most people are good to work with ,technology oriented ,values of the month

Cons

Micro management from a manager.Manager admitted that the review rating was assessed wrongly because of manager transition but refused to go back and fix it ,later when I was part of a lay-off due to a cost cutting measure “that messed up rating” was used an excuse.”Rating” is more of a perception and not a measure of your hard work ,loyalty ,focus and deliverables.
