SoFi

SoFi had some really good low-level managers. It was obvious they were in a ton of unnecessary meetings and frazzled by their managers, but they often shielded us from this.

Assaf Ronen is running this company straight into the ground. He often throws valuable team members under the bus publicly and doesn't understand or appreciate the work being done. He's got a track record of this at his previous employers, and I'm confused why upper leadership hasn't corrected this.

Your stock options won't be worth the paper they're printed on due to constant cash injections from Saudi's, etc. They'll spend millions on a football stadium and then lay off key staff, thinking that their responsibilities can just be absorbed by those left behind. And if all that isn't bad enough, you have HR making key technical decisions.

Your people won't tell you how they really feel while they work there.

I never did.

Your company values are just lip service.

I saw people going against those values regularly and moving up and up for it.

I look back on my time at SoFi like a Soviet prison camp: constant work, pressure with zero reward.

I regret ever accepting an offer to work for SoFi.
