Pros

Working at Affirm is incredible. There is no where else I want to work at this moment. I am learning every day and am constantly challenged. The team at Affirm is bright, curious, and creative. It's a high density of intelligent people in every role. The culture at Affirm is centered around integrity. People here care about creating a better financial product and as a result are fairly outspoken. Best argument wins, no matter where it comes from as long as it aligns with the principles of the company, has the data to back it up, and is supported by the strongest logic. Most importantly, the leaders here are refreshingly transparent about the status of the company. There are no questions left unanswered, and the exec team proactively works to explain potentially confusing issues in the company.

Cons

Most people here are very technical. Our founders are previous CTO's at other companies.

Pros

Affirm has a lot of talented engineers and high impact, interesting products to work on. The company is remote first and I traveled abroad for a few weeks a year while working.

Cons

Most of the projects were under tight deadlines which put a lot of stress on the engineers. Management didn't really understand what was required of engineers for many of the projects which made it difficult for them to communicate the team's needs upward. My team was short staffed for senior and staff engineers so techincal leadership was also lacking.
