Social Finance Inc., a startup that specializes in refinancing student loans, is being sued by an employee who claims that he was fired for reporting sexual harassment and fraudulent actions by managers.
Brandon Charles, a senior operations manager at the company known as SoFi, said in a lawsuit filed Friday in California that he witnessed his female colleagues being harassed by managers. He also said he saw SoFi managers canceling loans to cover up mistakes and therefore keep their bonuses high.
