Pros

Great benefits that exceeded past just insurance.

Cons

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

SoFi Response

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.

Culture is fake. Poor management.

Pros

At least they did not start the layoff yet. That is it!

Cons

Management is terrible, the risk and ops team is so terrible. They are so arrogant. Leader from risk and ops was requesting to know what everyone is doing on daily basis. I was wondering should I report how much time I used to go to restroom. SoFriday is another joke. Engineering team needs to work the butt out, and the risk and ops team are all disappeared. If you don’t finish the work, then the upcoming week will be asked why it takes so long. Avoid it as the culture is fake.

SoFi Response

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review - we see feedback as a gift that will help us improve the employee experience, so thank you. That said, we're very sorry to hear working at SoFi isn't meeting your expectations. Your comments are not indicative of the culture or work environment we are trying to build. We know building a great culture starts with excellent leaders, and we're doubling down on manager excellence this year - it's our learning and development team's #1 focus area for 2023. We'll be working with individual leaders (including Engineering, Risk & Operations) to create customized L&D programs that will help develop great leaders and foster career development within their respective organizations. If you'd like to discuss further, you can reach out to us at glassdoor@sofi.org. Take care.
