Pros

Super fast paced work, so you won’t get bored. Always pressing new technology, so you’ll always be leading the charge and discovering new things. Many highly qualified and skilled engineers to draw experience from. It really feels like the CEO cares. We have weekly meetings where the CEO generally answers questions live for all SoFi employees. You can tell when he’s getting a little passionate about what he’s saying, but that’s what makes it so fun to work here!

Cons

Some days, if feels like different business groups just want to keep doing what they used to do at their old brick-and-mortar institution, which is contrary to the very core of what has made SoFi SoGreat. It feels like the engineers have to sell executive management on the internal applications more than a third-party does.

Pros

+ Great pay: other companies in the value are upset that they can't pay as well + Familiar tech stack (JVM, ELK stack, Redis, RDBMS) + Great people: everybody was worth talking to. My team was amazing. + Food: the kitchens were unrivaled.

Cons

- Familiar tech stack: there's nothing new under the sun. I joined this field for novelty - My manager and I had (somewhat) incompatible personalities and SoFi has made it _very_ difficult to change teams based on interest/fit. - Food: there weren't staff for the kitchens, so there was a team rotation. Some teams were more lax than others.
