Thank you for the feedback and the years you dedicated to working at SoFi. We're glad you enjoyed some of our office perks and flexible approach to work, but are sorry to hear you did not feel recognized. We have a number of programs that support employee recognition - from our peer to peer recognition tool in the intranet, where employees can recognize each other for living our values, to our semi-annual performance program where employees are recognized monetarily for their contributions. Like many companies over the past year, we have not been immune to small reductions in our workforce - these extremely difficult decisions are not taken lightly. We wish you the best in your next endeavor, take care.

We are grateful for your feedback, and for your dedication to SoFi over the past few years. We're happy to hear you have found your compensation to be competitive, and have good work/life balance. We feel the direction of the company has always been focused on our mission: helping people achieve financial independence so they can realize their ambitions. While our annual and quarterly company priorities shift so we can better meet our members' needs and address the seemingly ever-changing macro environment, many have stayed the same for years: our commitment to building a world-class culture, rooted in creating equitable experiences for all, and building the best products for our millions of members. Again, thanks for the feedback and for being a part of our SoFi family.

Pros

Certain times of year (especially holidays and shortly after) are very quiet. Very remote-work friendly/non-strict RTO policy

Cons

Impressively dysfunctional engineering culture. Much more talking about building software than actually producing it. You aren’t going to find real software engineering innovation or inspiring engineering leaders here if you already have some experience. Overall, it’s extremely difficult to build good software here. The engineering primitives and infrastructure that would make it possible to build interesting things quickly and reliably either doesn’t exist or is so minimally invested in that each project tends to need to whip together its own basics in the tiny window of time before the next “extremely important” project is shoved on a group’s plate by various independent areas of leadership that don't understand what’s taking so long.

Thank you for your thoughtful, candid review. We see feedback as a gift and a way to LI^2 (learn, iterate and innovate, one of our core values) on the employee experience. We are very disappointed to hear you have found your time at SoFi uninspiring. We feel our mission to help people achieve financial independence, and the impact our employees have on improving our members' lives is really inspiring. We see our annual and quarterly OKR process as a way for the company, and each organization, to set both long and short term goals. If you'd like to continue the conversation so we can work to improve your experience, I welcome an email at glassdoor@sofi.org. Thank you for being on this journey with us.
