      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      2 technical rounds. 1st round: Feature engineering on existing dataset 2nd round: Coding problem All along, the questions were very specific to Affirm, the interviewers were very helpful and guided well. It didn't feel like coding up an arbitrary LC problem, but seemed like it was very close to what the actual job demanded.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Q: Given a dataset, setup a feature engineering pipeline.
      1 Answer

      Question 2
