Pros

From the recruiting process, to onboarding, to interacting with employees throughout the organization, I've been nothing been impressed with Affirm. The interview process was very fast and fluid, and my recruiter was highly responsive and communicative throughout, from phone screen to offer. The onboarding process was much shorter and more straightforward than what I've experienced in the past, possibly because it's the first startup I've experienced. One highlight of the onboarding process was that the COO took the time to meet with a small group of new hires to take our feedback on the process and answer any questions we had. Definitely shows the exec team is committed to improving processes. Max also took the time to welcome me, which was a nice touch. In my admittedly time working here I've also been impressed with everyone I've met, no matter their role or level. Independent of role, everyone is highly intellectually curious, which makes for a very dynamic and challenging work environment. Complacency is non-existent as far as I can tell, and it's apparent how invested everyone is in the long-term goals of the company. Not to be overly hyperbolic, but put simply if the mission and vision resonates with you, then I highly recommend Affirm as a great place to work.

Cons

Never enough people to do the work..pretty certain this is an issue every comparable company faces though. A ping-pong table would be nice.

Pros

Smart, highly motivated, and team oriented group. Team is passionate about the product, but even more so about partners and customers.

Cons

Growing so quickly we need to find a new office space soon; seating will be a little tight for a few months.
