Pros

Pay and benefits were good. Co-workers were also great.

Cons

Lay-offs were heartless and unexpected. Should have not forced people to go back to the office and instead, they could have saved money by avoiding office space rentals and retaining their workforce. No one wanted to go back no matter how hard they try to convince staff that "some" did.

Thank you for taking the time to share a review of your experience - we're very sorry to hear working at SoFi didn't meet your expectations. The last thing we want is for any of our employees to feel that they were not valued or respected during the very difficult decision we had to make as a company in January. Regarding return to office, we see value in bringing our employees together. Compared to other companies, we feel our return to office policy is quite flexible and less structured (for example, we do not ask leaders or managers to track attendance), and that is intentional and ties to our overall flexible approach to work. While each business unit has a slightly different approach, in general we are asking employees to come into the office 4 times a month. We thank you for your feedback and contributions to SoFi. Good luck in your next endeavor.

Pros

Great CEO, good growth opportunities and interesting work. Have worked at a lot of finance/fintechs, SoFi is the best by a long shot.

Cons

Benefits could be better, less competitive than other fintechs

Pros

You are only required to work from the office 1 day of the week and the rest from home. The Benefit package is great. The company has free snacks, fruits and drinks at the office and it provides the employees with lunch at least once a month while at the office.

Cons

You are literately a modern day slave with low pay and a tone of work. After a few months you have to get upskilled (more work) without any additional compensation. You are constantly evaluated: First call resolution is huge, the goal is for the member not to have to call back in at least a week. The company wants the call to last less than 5 minutes (or you get dinged). The company wants the members to respond to the surveys and if they don't it counts against you. if you go on chats, you will have to serve maneuver between two different once at the same time. You ONLY get a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. It is difficult to go to the restroom because while on the phones there is NO actual bathroom disposition and so you will get dinged and if it takes you longer than 5 minutes you get a message from intrudium informing you that you are out of adherence. The technology is the worse I have ever had to work with. It uses a program called Zscaler that is constantly disconnecting and when it does, it interrupts all of the other programs that are required to work with, in which case you have to inform WFM that you are having tech issues either by telephone or by sending a Workflow and hope it gets approved. While in training you are informed that you will only get paid up to 1 hr while having a tech issue. Workflows are huge and used for everything, including if you are suppose to clock out for the day but you are still on a call and it makes you go over 5 minutes (or you get dinged). Putting in for PTO or Sick Time is also not easy either, it's all about the companies needs so, hopefully you will get approved or maybe not. H.R. is only there a bit while you are hired and of course if you are let go but other than that, not sure what they do because there is no real connection.
