Pros

- great people for the most part. - fun projects to work on depending on team

Cons

- your experience at sofi is fully determined by your team and manager. They all are not created equally - they will pay new employees a good amount more than existing employees at the same level. Its a known thing that i've seen happen here more times than is reasonable

Hey there! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. I'm obviously biased but agree we get to work with some of the smartest, most thoughtful and kind people in the industry! That said, your comments around management is not indicative of the type of culture we are trying to build at SoFi. Creating a 'best place to work' caliber company starts with world-class leaders. We're in the process of revamping some of our manager trainings so our new managers and newly promoted managers have the tools and resources to best support their teams. Our quarterly and annual OKR planning process is designed to create and execute a clear vision for our teams, and our company as a whole. If you see a disconnect here, I strongly suggest you voice it to a manager/leader you trust or our HR team. That said, I've shared these comments with our L&D team so we can take action on your feedback. Additionally, as you know, we have a quarterly performance check-in program and a formal process to award merit increases and promotions. We also frequently review employee compensation to ensure it is fair and competitive based on external market data and individual performance. If you would like to continue this conversation, we welcome an email at glassdoor@sofi.org. Again, we sincerely appreciate the review and look forward to sharing a lot of the goodness our new Learning and Development team is cooking up to best support our managers and help our employees develop their careers.

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.
