Pros

Free lunch Free lunch everyday Job isn't life threatening Stocked kitchen - free water - sometimes you get to look outside

Cons

ill-treatment, particularly from individuals whose only credibility resides in their job title as opposed to demonstrated excellence and leadership. Lack of operational know how - bad leadership... unethical decision making... disrespect.. Salaried employees are excited to work 55+ hours - the culture is "we don't work 40 hours" horrible place to work.

Pros

SoFi pays for a lot per employee. 100% of health benefits, $200 per month towards your student loans, reimbursed pay up to about $5000 or so if you take credit classes, etc. So, for people to complain about no 401(k) match, I get it, but the company is already spending a lot of money per employee. The people are very inviting and want to you improve, but it is fast-paced and you have to keep up because something might change. This is an online company, not a conventional bank. Things don't work the same as banks do. Since this job is slightly stressful at times, it is great to have some type of stress relieving activity at home.

Cons

It isn't for everyone. You have to have a certain type of personality and be open to things changing. If you can adapt, you are completely fine.

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.
