What's the Work-Life Balance Like at SoFi?

SoFi Employee Perspectives

SoFi recognizes that flexibility plays an important role in employee well-being. By offering multiple work arrangements and programs that encourage employees to disconnect and recharge, the company helps individuals create a work experience that supports both productivity and balance.

“One of the perks I’m most proud of is our overall flexible approach to work,” Avalos said. “Our employees have the option to choose from in-office, hybrid or full-time remote. Plus, to help employees find work-life balance we offer ‘SoFridays’ where non-exempt employees start their weekends at 2 p.m.”

What People Are Saying About SoFi

  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Teams and managers can choose in-office, hybrid, or fully remote arrangements, enabling alignment of location with role needs. This structure offers location autonomy while honoring team norms.
  • Time Off Access: Policies include flexible or unlimited PTO, paid sick time, parental leave, and paid volunteer hours, creating multiple avenues to step away when needed. These benefits support taking time for family and personal needs without stigma.
  • Recovery Time: Company practices promote early-wrap Fridays and a no-meetings window after 2 p.m. local time on Fridays to help people disconnect and recharge. These guardrails provide protected focus and transition time at week’s end.
