Process
The first round for FE was a 1-hour practical round. The expectations were very reasonable for the hour.
The second round involved chats with the Hiring Manager about past work experience.
I didn't make it onto the onsite, but the whole process moved quickly and everyone was super friendly!

Bad Managers, Bad at DEI
Software Engineer • Current Employee
March 15, 2023
Pros: - Good benefits
- Nice coworkers
Cons: Bad managers are allowed to stay at their job, and there is no recourse if your manager sucks. The company is very bad at DEI and treating women and people of color well. There is lots of advertising about DEI, which makes the majority (people not from these groups) feel like Affirm is doing a lot, but it's largely lip service and unpaid work being done by people from these communities.
