      Great Company, Be Careful

      Pros

      SoFi has an incredibly inclusive culture both in diversity and in the spirit of taking care of each other. The SoFi mission "Help our customers get their money right" puts a huge emphasis on people first. That mentality leaks in a productive way into engineering. They take great care of their engineers in general.

      Cons

      Lack of clarity on policies can lead to miscommunication between upper management, your manager, and you. They will aggressively remove you should you move laterally in the same sector.

      Company culture

      Pros

      Old team was really good. New team is very disorganized and doesn't seem to care about the code they put out as much as my old team did. Its pretty discouraging

      Cons

      Seems like there is a fair amount of politics. Maybe its just within this new team however my old team didn't have as much of that. I understand that with each company there will probably be some sort of politics involved however this is peoples lively hood. I think that type of thing should be left out. It makes people not want to show up and give their all.

      A Tough Day. A Tough Day, Indeed

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They say they strive to the best culture in the world, but it's a front. It's deceiving and the leadership team tries to care but all they care is the money. Compensation, benefits, and free food (in the office) was a nice perk.

      Cons

      1. Little autonomy. Ever since the “partnership” with Indeed, we have lost all autonomy in our book of business. 2. Zero transparency or executive level support. The entire executive team seems to have zero idea what is happening in the go-to-market org 3. Continuous roadblocks to success. You’re not setting your employees go up for success and you’re seeing people leave because they realize the workload is not sustainable. 4. Lack of diversity. 5. Measurement. If you expect your team to perform, give them quotas on time and transparency into how they are built 6. Collaboration. Properly define the roles and responsibilities between marketing/product/engineers and the counterparts. It’s provides chaos internally and a poor client experience externally. There is no best culture in the world when the leadership team doesn't act on it. Even during this pandemic, the members of the people team has yet to care and ask if their employees are burnt out or not.
