Process
The recruiter did not respond when I replied after making it to the final round of interviews. The position was then filled. He told me instead that I would be moving forward with a Full Stack position, which was heavily frontend-focused. I asked to move ahead with one of two other positions currently listed on their job portal that more closely aligned with the role I had been interviewing for, but he never responded.

Affirm Work Experiences
- 2.0Developer experience couldn't be worse!Senior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaMarch 28, 2023Pros: - Away days - Company actually cares about the financial well-being of their employees - Good severance package during the layoffsCons: Developer experience is the worst I've experienced in my career – far too much to list here and I don't want PTSD. Management is largely clueless, devoid of actual tangible goals. Every project/initiative is reactive as opposed to proactive, leading to constantly scrapped and replaced projects. Tons of red tape prevent developers from getting the real beneficial changes done ahead of the product development curve, leading to an ever-escalating amount of tech debt.
