Pros

- great people for the most part. - fun projects to work on depending on team

Cons

- your experience at sofi is fully determined by your team and manager. They all are not created equally - they will pay new employees a good amount more than existing employees at the same level. Its a known thing that i've seen happen here more times than is reasonable

Hey there! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. I'm obviously biased but agree we get to work with some of the smartest, most thoughtful and kind people in the industry! That said, your comments around management is not indicative of the type of culture we are trying to build at SoFi. Creating a 'best place to work' caliber company starts with world-class leaders. We're in the process of revamping some of our manager trainings so our new managers and newly promoted managers have the tools and resources to best support their teams. Our quarterly and annual OKR planning process is designed to create and execute a clear vision for our teams, and our company as a whole. If you see a disconnect here, I strongly suggest you voice it to a manager/leader you trust or our HR team. That said, I've shared these comments with our L&D team so we can take action on your feedback. Additionally, as you know, we have a quarterly performance check-in program and a formal process to award merit increases and promotions. We also frequently review employee compensation to ensure it is fair and competitive based on external market data and individual performance. If you would like to continue this conversation, we welcome an email at glassdoor@sofi.org. Again, we sincerely appreciate the review and look forward to sharing a lot of the goodness our new Learning and Development team is cooking up to best support our managers and help our employees develop their careers.

It sounds like you may agree, which makes us so happy. If you have any suggestions on how we can continue to improve the employee experience, please reach out to us at glassdoor@sofi.org. Best of luck in your next career endeavor! Take care.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. Good products. Genuine CEO that provides transparency and cares about employees and customers. Permits full-time work remote. Weekly check-in with direct manager designed to help the employee steer the career path. Permits internal transfers, promotes internally, and re-evaluates pay according to market cap when considering promoption. Provides other compensation and awards depending of performance.

Cons

Fast moving. Lots of information. Drinking from a firehose at times. Heavily regulated by industry; trainings, compliance, and so on. Cons are honestly not much different than most companies. It really comes down to the people and not the company, if we're being honest.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and comprehensive review of your experience at SoFi. We are so happy to hear you're enjoying working here - from the benefits and perks we offer employees, to our world-class leaders, to support and career development! We often hear that working at the intersection of autonomy and impact make SoFi a really dynamic place to work. We hear you on the speed at which we work...helping to transform an antiquated industry means we have to move fast to stay ahead of the competition and continue to meet our members needs. That said, we don't want this speed to come at the expense of your work/life balance. We're excited to roll out new initiatives this year related to our new SoFi Cares program, focused on the wellbeing of our employees. Stay tuned for more details. Thanks again for your candid feedback and for all you do to help make SoFi a great place to work. Take care.
