Pros

More perks than any other job I have worked at. Wonderful growth opportunities, newer company with fresh ideas. Management welcomes ideas from employees to increase production and to increase positive work environment. This is a company that cares not only about their customers but their employees.

Cons

The most difficult thing for me was getting used to working at tables with people right next to me. It's a loud work environment with lots of distractions.

Game changer offering excitement and growth

Pros

We're changing the finance game. Working here you get as much on-field time as you can handle, and will be surrounded by a smart and collaborative team. Being part of a company whose main goal is to fundamentally change an industry is exciting and a huge pro. You'll also find all the regular startup perks too.

Cons

There's growing pains which can result in change occurring with no notice, and moving frenetically rather than moving quickly with measure. Flip side is growing pains means growth! Also, you'll put on at least 10lbs due to the complimentary food.

"Boys Club" and corporate culture

Pros

SoFi has business direction, and solid plans to take out competition. If any Fintech company will make it big, SoFi will. Though recently there was talk of layoffs and the business performance in Q1 affecting hiring, so maybe not.

Cons

Don't expect to be allowed work-life balance by senior management at SoFi. Most of the team works 9+ hours a day, with meetings frequently scheduled at 5pm or later. There's also a distinct "boys club" culture, especially within the Capital Markets team. Many of the employees are older white men who worked in finance previously and they've brought the Wall Street culture with them to SoFi. The company calls itself a startup but the term only applies in how old SoFi is, in all other aspects it's extremely corporate. The only focus is meeting aggressive business goals, which means that nothing else matters (including employee happiness, company culture, company values, etc.).
