Pros

Company is growing nicely, benefits are very good (maybe even excellent), product is somewhat innovative & "in vogue", very smart people

Cons

The continuous breakneck pace and "what have you done for me lately" attitude burns good people out

Thank you for the 3+ years you have invested in working at SoFi, and for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We're happy to hear you feel the benefits we offer employees are comprehensive and that you have enjoyed the amazing people at SoFi. The rapid growth we are experiencing offers our employees an incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and help shape the future of our company and this industry. That said, we know the pace can be intense...plus the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the WFH environment is accelerating burnout for a lot of people. If you haven't already checked out our Benefits offerings around this topic, we encourage you to! We have resources to help employees cope with burnout; plus we encourage you take the time off you need to recharge. If you would like more information on the resources we have available to employees, or if you'd like to continue this conversation, please reach out to us at glassdoor@sofi.org, or reach out to your PBP. Take care and thank you for being on this journey with us!
