Pros: Clear Vision & Leadership: The leadership team is transparent and has a clear vision for where the company is headed. There's a strong sense of shared purpose, and it’s genuinely exciting to be part of a company that is solving real problems and poised for future growth. Open, Feedback-Driven Culture: This is one of the best parts of working here. Management actively solicits feedback and, more importantly, acts on it. This commitment to continuous improvement creates a culture of trust and makes you feel like your voice truly matters. Opportunities for Growth: I have been able to work with a wide variety of technologies, which has been incredible for my professional development. The work is always engaging and provides constant opportunities to learn new skills, which keeps me motivated.

Cons: As the company and engineering team have scaled, cross-team communication can be challenging at times. Managing cross-cutting concerns that affect multiple teams requires significant coordination, which can occasionally slow down development velocity. It's a natural challenge for any organization, and it's good to see steps being taken in the right direction.

Pros: - Great culture and people. - Lots of opportunity to have impact. - New CEO seems promising. - Some good technical processes in place.

Cons: - Growing pains that lead to technical debt - Some turnover in crucial roles - Technical roadmap just forming

Pros: I joined Affinity because the smartest people I knew from really different parts of my life all surprisingly ended up in this one small team. Everyone is driven, ambitious, and hungry to push the company forward, and that drive is what makes me excited to get into the office every day. I feel like my work at Affinity can actually push me to my limits, and I don't think I've grown more as a person or an engineer at any other point in my life. I'm really looking forward to the challenges and successes to come.

Cons: There won't be very much hand-holding as you ramp up and get up to speed. Affinity expects self-starters, as everyone else will also be working on new problems and trying to figure stuff out.
