I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Affirm in Oct 2025
Interview
it wasnt rlly leetcode but more so affirm related coding questions. first phone screen was calm and the second one was super confusing because they want you to be familiar with a specific python library. i felt like i wasn't really tested on my data structures and algorithms knowledge but not knowing the library ultimately slowed me down. i solved the problem at the end but i didn't get the offer. it wasn't that difficult tho it was just weird.
