Pros

Pay is sort of fair? If you know to negotiate. They will lowball you, so be prepared to ask for more. Other SoFi departments seemed to be much better organized and were joys to work with.

Cons

Terrible middle management in fraud department. Lack of communication. Unprofessional meetings that are a waste of time. Returning to Office for “culture”. Completely unrealistic production standards that can only be met by sacrificing quality which costs millions of dollars and allows for ID theft. I regularly had to make calls that I knew were bad because we weren’t allowed time to properly do research. The company wouldn’t even pay for a backup IP search tool and we were stuck using whatever we could find on the internet. In the last year, SoFi seemed to be moving backwards in terms of progress and job quality. Not forwards. RTO, removal of development opportunities, lower raises, downsizing, etc all makes the company seem less like a FinTech and more like it was trying to be a bank. Which it didn’t know how to do yet.

Thank you for the feedback, we're grateful for the time you spent working at SoFi. We wish this had been a 5 star experience for you. While we're glad you enjoyed the people, SoFridays, and felt your compensation was adequate, we are sorry to hear your comments about top down leadership communication. Our quarterly OKR process is meant to align on teams on our strategy and deliverables each quarter. The intention is that these OKRs are built from the bottom up to drive alignment. While our lunch card program was stopped, the stipend was added directly to employee's paychecks, and we regularly offer free lunch in our offices, including San Francisco. Wish you the best in your next career move, and thank you again for your review.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback, thanks for taking the time to leave a review of your experience. We're very sorry to hear working at SoFi didn't meet your expectations. While we're glad you enjoyed our colleagues (we agree we work with some of the best!) and our comprehensive benefits offerings, we're disappointed to hear your feedback about management communication and changing procedures. As we scale as a company and mature into a larger bank, there are processes we need to build and regulatory requirements we must meet. We wish you the best of luck in your next endeavor, and thank you for the time you dedicated to working at SoFi.
