Process
It's a one-hour phone screen technical interview. The interviewer is super kind and suggestive. Unfortunately, I'm just not prepared enough.
There will be general QA and behavioral questions within the first 10 minutes.

Good company. Too many cooks
Software Engineer • Current Employee
January 18, 2023
Pros: Lots of good benefits and a good mission.

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.
