Pros

Very smart, ethical, thoughtful people who are among the most mission-driven I've ever encountered in my career. A company that is able to focus and execute on the here-and-now priorities necessary to achieve a wildly ambitious goal.

Cons

Can always afford to move faster and more efficiently. Typical "startup-turning-grownup" pains around structure, career paths, talent underutilization.

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.
