Pros

Affirm really values its employees. There is a strong emphasis on workplace success and happiness. They really want to make sure they are providing the best environment for their employees to grow and excel in their roles. The executive team is pretty hard to ignore too. A lot of great leadership with the skills to make a company successful. We have great company events which really allow employees to get to know each other outside of the day to day working environment (white water rafting, happy hours, offsites, ski trip, etc.). Really great to be apart of a company that values this.

Cons

I joined the company when they were well over 100 people, doesn't seem like a lot but it does get more challenging to get to know people and be more hands on with projects. However, they do emphasize on making sure employees are apart of projects they are passionate about.

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.
