Process
Recruiter reached out to me, and we had a ~30-minute phone screen. After that was a phone interview.
I would say overall that I have mixed feelings (but overall positive) about Affirm after the interview process.
I was pretty excited about Affirm and had a lot of questions for the engineer. When our phone call time was up, he gave me his email and told me to feel free to send him any other questions I had. I spent a good amount of time writing up the email with my last two questions, but he never responded. Then the next business day, I was rejected. I just wish he could at least respond or provide a bit more transparency because this situation left me feeling a bit awkward.

Max does a great job of staying engaged with the team and driving as a leader, not a dictator like some executives I've seen in the past. In terms of my position, I felt the pressure when I first started due to a drive to reach a product launch on time. This was a new experience for me, but I never felt taken advantage of or overworked.
