Pros

The people here a pretty good to work with. The C-level staff are fairly responsive to feedback and open about decision making, even if you don't always agree with them they're not a black box. They've moved to having fully remote opportunities and are very lenient with hybrid remote/office work. Half days on Fridays and unbounded vacation time. Very sensitive to work/life balance and understanding when you need to miss/leave work for any reason.

Cons

Currently no 401k matching in benefits. There is constant talk about "improving culture" from upper-level management to the point you'll never want to hear the word again.

Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review of your SoFi experience. As you know, we're committed to creating a culture where people love to work, and that starts with having a world-class leadership team. We're glad your experience with leaders have been positive. We also know that flexibility is no longer a 'nice to have', it's a non-negotiable for our employees, so we've been extremely thoughtful in our return to work plan, and have created options for our employees so they can bring their best selves to work. Thank you for the feedback on 401k match! We know this is important to employees, and we encourage you to continue to voice this desire - in All Hands, to your manager, and to our People team. It's definitely top of mind for us as we continue to evolve our benefits offerings. If you have any other feedback to share, please reach out to us at glassdoor@sofi.org. Thanks again for being a part of our SoFamily! Take care.

Pros

SoFi had some really good low level managers. It was obvious they were in a TON of unnecessary meetings, and frazzled by their mangers, but they often shielded us from this.

Cons

Assaf Ronen is running this company straight into the ground. He often throws valuable team members under the bus publicly, and doesn't understand or appreciate the work being done. He's got a track record of this at his previous employers, and I'm confused why upper leadership hasn't corrected this. Your stock options won't be worth the paper they're printed on due to constant cash injections from Saudi's, etc. They'll spend millions on a football stadium and then lay off key staff thinking that their responsibilities can just be absorbed by those left behind. And if all that isn't bad enough, you have HR making key technical decisions.

We see feedback as a gift that will only help us improve the employee experience, so thank you for taking the time to share such a candid review of your time at SoFi. Your comments are not indicative of the culture we are trying to create. Your feedback around leadership, transparency, and our values are very disappointing to hear as we continue to make investments to improve these areas. For example, our Value of the Month programming helps connect our daily work to each value and helps us bring them to life at work (and at home!). Plus, our weekly All-Hands meetings are a chance for our employees to ask tough questions of our leaders in an open forum. We're on a mission to building a best-place-to-work caliber company, and that starts with our leadership. Our Engineering, Product and Design organization is building the future of the fintech industry, pushing boundaries to architect and design next-level products for our members. We're proud of the work the team is doing, and we continue to focus on rolling out learning and development programs so our managers have the training and resources to empower their teams to do their best work. We sincerely thank you for the 4+ years you dedicated to working at SoFi, and wish you all the best in your next career move. Take care.

Thank you for sharing your SoFi experience - we see feedback as a gift that will only help us continue to improve. As you may know, we're committed to creating a culture where people love to work, and that starts with a phenomenal team. We're so happy to hear you have experienced that firsthand. The rate at which SoFi is growing is helping set us up for long-term success, and in turn is creating myriad opportunities for our employees to learn and grow. That being said, we acknowledge that this rapid growth comes with what feels like constant change and we are conscious of the affect that has on our employees. If you haven't done so already, we highly encourage you to visit the Benefits Mall or reach out to our Benefits team directly to better understand all the incredible resources we have to support our employees during this time, where we know work/life balance and burnout are rampant across many companies. We encourage you to continue this conversation with your manager or PBP. Your health and wellness is of the utmost importance. Thank you for being on this journey with us!
