Good Old Team, Disorganized New
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
February 17, 2021
Pros: Old team was really good. New team is very disorganized and doesn't seem to care about the code they put out as much as my old team did. It's pretty discouraging.
Cons: Seems like there is a fair amount of politics. Maybe it's just within this new team, however, my old team didn't have as much of that. I understand that with each company, there will probably be some sort of politics involved. However, this is people's livelihood. I think that type of thing should be left out. It makes people not want to show up and give their all.

Typical, and that's not always a bad thing
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Murray, Utah, United States
April 26, 2019
Pros: + Great pay: Other companies in the value are upset that they can't pay as well.
+ Familiar tech stack (JVM, ELK stack, Redis, RDBMS).
+ Great people: Everybody was worth talking to. My team was amazing.
+ Food: The kitchens were unrivaled.
Cons: - Familiar tech stack: there's nothing new under the sun. I joined this field for novelty.
- My manager and I had (somewhat) incompatible personalities, and SoFi has made it *very* difficult to change teams based on interest/fit.
- Food: there weren't staff for the kitchens, so there was a team rotation. Some teams were more lax than others.
