Pros

Good benefits, competitive salaries, and interesting work. The management seems to be trying to do the right thing and build a good company culture, committed to continued process improvement and excellence.

Cons

Liberal (to a fault) company. So concerned about diversity and inclusion that the 99% need to bend over backwards so the 1% aren't offended.

Example: In a recent training, we were encouraged to no longer use the pronouns he/she when referring to coworkers because somebody who doesn't know what gender they are might be offended. Instead, the accepted pronoun is "they" at Sofi to refer to others.

Please don't misunderstand. I am all for treating everybody with respect and love, but this is over the top. If we could all remember this one simple piece of wisdom: "love your neighbor as yourself", then there would be no need to be counseled on what pronouns we should or should not use.

Advice to Management

Try to be a bit more reasonable and balanced in your diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Trust your employees' good judgment when it comes to treating other employees with respect.
