Pros: Good work-life balance, good pay, friendly teammates.

Cons: Remote can be a bit isolating. Company culture is somewhat lacking.

Pros: Amazing benefits and compensation. Work from home. Awesome spending wallet on food, tech, lifestyle, and health that refreshes monthly. Team culture: everyone is willing to help out, and senior leadership is always open to feedback. Great place to gain experience and grow under awesome engineers.

Cons: Smaller company, so workload can get kind of heavy at times. A lot of learning by yourself when you first join. Documentation heavy on projects. Sometimes I feel like multiple project specs (project spec, product spec, tech spec) are unnecessary; having one technical document is enough. No 401k matching, but the other benefits are pretty good, so I don't really mind.

Pros: Smart coworkers, beautiful office, nice perks.

Cons: Systems in place break easily and are a pain to operate. Code debt is a real issue here: there are old parts of the codebase that are not owned by any team or IC, and cause bugs and breakages in new features. The product direction is lacking. Affirm wants to reinvent consumer finance, but I didn't see any steps in my time there to achieve that. Employee morale in that area also seemed low. WLB is not great — dinner is at 7pm, which means that quite a few of the team won't leave the office until 7:30 or 8pm.
