Initial phone call to go over work history and interests, followed by an on-site interview at the San Francisco offices.

After the initial phone call, I received an email to set up an on-site interview; great!

I then received a follow-up telling me the date, time, and address of the interview.

On the day of the interview, I showed up and was greeted by the first set of engineers who would be interviewing me. They asked to confirm that I brought a laptop (which I did out of habit), however, it became immediately clear that there was a lapse in communication between SoFi and myself. There was supposed to be an email stating what to bring and what to expect during the interview, which is a pretty big advantage to have when going into an interview.
