Pros

The financial industry is a massive and highly competitive space, which makes for a great fast-paced environment. The problems you set out to solve are challenging and large scale. Everyone at Affirm is extremely motivated, collaborative and strives to build great products. The leadership team is one of the best out there and make themselves available to everyone. There is a great level of trust and transparency, and taking ownership is highly encouraged/supported. All in all, it's a group of talent people who enjoy what they do and make for a great company culture. Best place I've worked.

Cons

It's a startup so you'll definitely work hard, but if you love what you do (like the individuals working here) it's a non-issue.

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.
