Process
The interview process started smoothly with a 30-minute phone call that felt more like a conversation than an interrogation. HR was friendly and informative, even sharing a laugh about an industry joke.
Scheduling the technical round was a breeze, with the interviewer reaching out beforehand to confirm details and answer questions.
The technical interview itself used Coderpad for coding and Google Meets for a face-to-face chat, making it less nerve-wracking. The interviewer was patient and helpful, offering guidance instead of just firing algorithms. Overall, a positive and efficient experience.

- 5.0Best job I've ever hadSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNovember 5, 2018Pros: Great group of smart, kind, and highly motivated people. Lots of company events and many opportunities to bond with co-workers. Interesting product, innovating in the fintech space. Free lunch and dinner and plenty of snacks. AMAZING views of SF and China Town. Great gym stipend and commuter benefits. High growth company with lots of new interesting projects and products in planning.Cons: The only negative I could think of is that sometimes I work more than 40 hours a week. But it isn't a lot more. Also, this isn't because I am forced to. I am just interested in what I am working on.
- 1.0Prefer other companies if you have a choiceSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJanuary 31, 2023Pros: Affirm tackles some interesting problems. Performance management standards have historically been lax (although this could be a con for higher achievers).Cons: During the IPO, Affirm's equity administrator experienced a system malfunction, causing many employees to lose a good chunk of their pre-IPO proceeds. Affirm decided it was not their problem and left employees on their own. Overall, a good company to work for, but I would be skeptical of the true value of any stock-based compensation you're offered.
