Pros

• Continuously updating their tech stacks to stay competitive • Their products are well-maintained and secure • Their coding standards and best practices are revised regularly. • Great benefits

Cons

• Very easy to burn out here • I was approaching burnout, so I brought it up to my manager, told them I was fried and really needed help, and then… nothing. I brought it up again, and… nothing. Eventually, I was written up for underperforming. I don't quite understand how it worked out that way. • Communication • Management's attention on their team is generally poor. Instead, they focus on keeping their manager(s) happy. Basically, it's backwards.

First and foremost, thank you for the 6+ years you dedicated to working at SoFi. We're happy you enjoyed our benefits package and we are so proud of our product line. We are changing the way people think about and interact with personal finance, helping to transform an industry that hasn't changed in decades. We acknowledge that this environment of innovation can be stressful, but we hope the reward is greater than the challenge and that you can see the impact you're making every day. That said, we are seeing across industries that burnout is at an all-time high, so we hope you shared this feedback with your manager or PBP. If you have any other thoughts to share, we welcome an email at sofi@glassdoor.org or you can reach out to our People team directly. Thank you for your time spent being part of the So-Family.

Pros

Great benefits that exceeded past just insurance.

Cons

Management was not open to feedback. High level engineers had code egos.

We sincerely appreciate your honest feedback - it's the only way we will continue to improve and achieve our ambitions of becoming a 'best place to work' caliber company. We're happy to hear you felt our benefits were competitive. That said, most of your comments around feedback are troubling to hear and are not indicative of the culture we are trying to build. The top priority for our new Learning and Development team is Manager Excellence, and part of the manager curriculum we're developing is to create trainings and resources so managers know how to build a culture of feedback on their teams. We know that having an amazing culture starts with our leaders, and we're committed to giving them the tools, training, and resources so they can best support their teams. Again, thanks for the review, we appreciate the time you spent working at SoFi, and wish you the best in your next endeavors.
