Pros

The culture at SoFi is fast paced, innovative, and nimble. Employees are encouraged to be creative, test out new ideas and evolve and course correct from there. Teams are highly collaborative and feedback is offered on a regular basis (as opposed to once or twice a year). Everyone working for SoFi is passionate about what the company is doing and works very hard to achieve every goal that is set. Leadership is collaborative, transparent and helpful. Employees are encouraged to set personal goals and grow within the company. SoFi is an awesome place to work. It's a great group of intelligent, highly motivated people. It would be hard not to be inspired by everyone around you!

Cons

While great and exciting in a lot of ways, the fast paced nature can be a two sided coin. The company moves very quickly and very lofty goals are set for all teams and for every employee. That said, everyone is highly accommodating and understanding. Managers are open to hearing concerns and will do what they can to help in any situation.

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.
