      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      11 Feb 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SoFi in Dec 2020

      Interview

      Recruiter call, 1 phone screen, 4 virtual insures spread across a couple days. Interviews were very unprofessional and kept on mentioning previous companies they worked for, like they were trying to sell me on previous companies and not SoFi. Culture feels toxic and there doesn’t seem to be any organization. Some of the managers couldn’t talk about the technical aspects of the product, but rather just politics and team organization. Seems like they’re going through another reorg. I don’t feel like they value engineers at SoFi, definitely more product focused but not in a good way.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you design a fraud detection system? (model and system design) You have 3 boxes of marbles question. Boxes contain either all red, all blue, or red and blue marbles. Boxes are labeled incorrectly, how would you determine which box as which colored marbles.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      29 May 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      California City, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SoFi (California City, CA) in May 2026

      Interview

      I cleared all the rounds and received a verbal offer, but ended up rescinding the offer because the role seems to have been removed and after me clearing and giving me a verbal offer. This was frustrating, as I had worked really hard to prepare and clear the interviews, and I was genuinely looking forward to the opportunity. Overall, the interview process itself was smooth but frustrating at the end. The HR team was helpful throughout and supported me in coordinating the entire process. The interview included practical system design questions and LeetCode-style coding questions, mostly around medium difficulty. For both the system design and coding rounds, it is important to clearly talk through your thought process. The interviewers were helpful and would redirect the discussion if they felt I was going in the wrong direction.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SoFi in Feb 2025

      Interview

      Reached out by recruiter on linkedin. Standard recruiter call. After that was a phone screen. The phone screen consisted of 2 medium LC questions. I was unprepared as I thought there would only be one. It seems like there is no standard process/question for what the interviewer can ask. Interviewer was unfriendly and had camera off for most of the call. I was disappointed by the process. If you have 2 medium questions in the phone screen, at least pay like Meta :)

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SoFi in Jan 2025

      Interview

      This is the worst company I've ever interviewed with. I cleared the OA with 100% test cases passing for both the coding questions. The recruiter said they'll be moving forward and they will be scheduling the onsite. After two days, instead of getting the onsite interviews, I got another tech screening. I just gave it the benefit of the doubt and still interviewed for the screening. My interview went pretty well. I solved the question optimally and covered all test cases, answered all technical questions. The interviewer also seemed happy. 1 week later, the recruiter called me and said, "there were issues with hackerrank system and so it was passing test cases, so unfortunately we are not moving forward". When I gave the OA, I solved both questions and there were some tests which failed initially and I had to fix all of them. So how is it possible the system had issues. I had read so many rumors that they only take people who are from Amazon or Microsoft. It really says more about the company and its culture. A highly disappointing and unprofessional experience.
