Pros
  • Work with intelligent, highly-skilled people and have every tool at your disposal that you need to succeed.
  • Lots of potential for upward mobility. Good incentives for moving up.
  • A well-defined company culture within an organization that really feels like it has your back and is building itself up in a way that people can appreciate.
  • Excellent leadership at the top, especially the CEO.
  • Meaningful work.

I worked on a high-performing team with some of the brightest people I've ever known. It was challenging, but looking back, I can't imagine going through life without experiencing this. My team set aggressive goals and usually reached them. This sometimes meant really stretching to get there, which is why I say it was challenging. The co-workers I had, the growth I experienced, and the compensation made it 100% worth it. It was also really rewarding to see the company set aggressive goals and very often meet or exceed them. Winning feels good. I worked here longer than any other company on my résumé and am so proud of the things I accomplished during that time.

Cons

On-call shifts sometimes made it hard to get normal, adequate sleep.

My post-SoFi life left me wondering if maybe I left a little too soon. Adjusting to my next opportunity wasn't easy.

Advice to Management

None.
