Bored at the current position(SDE2). Not sure if I have the capability to get into FB/Google. Would you move to Galileo(Sofi) (Senior Software Engineer) from Amazon? TC-190K(on paper)#

I hate my job and hate blind
Hey op congratulations how was you interview at sofi. Whats the tc they are offering? There have been scandals in the company before and lending is a competitive area
Don’t join SoFi. Engineers are 3rd class citizens. Incredibly political in such a small company. And it stems from the so called leadership. There is nothing revolutionary about the products.
Where is the issue in the leadership - what level
Someone who got kicked out of Amazon and lied about it to Uber when he tried to get a job there. Uber found out and rescinded the offer. And that person became the chief of all product and engineering at SoFi. He is notorious for his attitude and behavior in both Microsoft and Amazon. People he hired and his brown nosers are more of less like that. He also forced out our CTO so engineering technically has no leadership. Every other week there are threads that discuss how unhappy engineers are in our private channel. Everyone I have spoken to is looking, even non engineering folks. Do you need more explanation?
Don't do it. Unless you have nowhere else to go.
It’s bad and getting worse here, product has no vision, just copying features left and right, stack is bad because no eng leaders anymore, everyone reports to product
Are you in SoFi or Galileo?
Galileo is an acquisition - a 20 year old company from Utah. Their culture is even worse than SoFi.
Just in case anyone still following… sofi (Galileo) is a massive dumpster fire. People leaving from every dept. complete shit show. DO NOT work here
Is Galileo losing customers? Or the opposite?
Galileo is losing as many as they’re gaining, but they also lose clients during Onboarding because the tech stack is so bad. They’re extremely lucky that Chime is so locked in or they’d leave. Chime has threatened to leave multiple times from what I’ve been told, and in the last contract to keep them Galileo agreed to pay fees for outages (which there are tons).
Short term loans are set to pop off with protracted unemployment and the holiday season coming up. Question with these companies like enova, lending tree, etc are can they accurately determine who won’t default, and will they make money when times are good and people don’t need as many short term loans. The answer has so far been no
