Pros

Working in fintech with some of the best! Strong engineering team that has a commitment to quality and rigor. World-class leadership team

Cons

It's a startup so sometimes there is a lot of work to do and things to be ironed out. The team has a lot of experience and it runs much more smoothly than other startups where I've worked.

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.
