Pros

Benefits partial remote (for now) Pay (sort of)

Cons

No 401K matching Full RTO is most likely imminent SoFi is trying too hard to become like a big bank and it's losing all of the positives and culture that made it an appealing employer.

Hello! Thank you for your continued dedication to SoFi, and for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear you aren't having a 5-star experience working here, and we hope for the opportunity to change that! Thanks for the feedback about our values - we feel our 11 core values are one of the things that sets SoFi apart, and bringing them to life through our programming, events, learning experiences, and interactions with each other are extremely important to us. We have ambitious goals of becoming a top 10 financial institution, but we feel we will still be able to maintain the special sauce that makes SoFi, SoFi. As you may remember, late last year, we announced our companywide RTO approach focused on flexibility. We do not currently have any plans to change our RTO policy. If you'd like to continue this conversation, we welcome an email to my team at glassdoor@sofi.org. Your feedback really matters to us, thank you for sharing.

Great CEO, good growth opportunities and interesting work. Have worked at a lot of finance/fintechs, SoFi is the best by a long shot.

Cons

Benefits could be better, less competitive than other fintechs

Pros

You are only required to work from the office 1 day of the week and the rest from home. The Benefit package is great. The company has free snacks, fruits and drinks at the office and it provides the employees with lunch at least once a month while at the office.

Cons

You are literately a modern day slave with low pay and a tone of work. After a few months you have to get upskilled (more work) without any additional compensation. You are constantly evaluated: First call resolution is huge, the goal is for the member not to have to call back in at least a week. The company wants the call to last less than 5 minutes (or you get dinged). The company wants the members to respond to the surveys and if they don't it counts against you. if you go on chats, you will have to serve maneuver between two different once at the same time. You ONLY get a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. It is difficult to go to the restroom because while on the phones there is NO actual bathroom disposition and so you will get dinged and if it takes you longer than 5 minutes you get a message from intrudium informing you that you are out of adherence. The technology is the worse I have ever had to work with. It uses a program called Zscaler that is constantly disconnecting and when it does, it interrupts all of the other programs that are required to work with, in which case you have to inform WFM that you are having tech issues either by telephone or by sending a Workflow and hope it gets approved. While in training you are informed that you will only get paid up to 1 hr while having a tech issue. Workflows are huge and used for everything, including if you are suppose to clock out for the day but you are still on a call and it makes you go over 5 minutes (or you get dinged). Putting in for PTO or Sick Time is also not easy either, it's all about the companies needs so, hopefully you will get approved or maybe not. H.R. is only there a bit while you are hired and of course if you are let go but other than that, not sure what they do because there is no real connection.
