Process

Overall, the interview process was very smooth and standard for an engineering company. At the beginning, I was given the option to do a take-home assessment or a typical whiteboarding interview. I chose to do the take-home assessment.

The take-home assessment took about 2.5 hours to complete (I tend to go overboard on test coverage, so that took extra time). Normally, I'm cautious about take-home assessments, but this one was very reasonable.

The onsite went very smoothly. I was able to talk to a number of people from a wide variety of levels and tenures at Affirm. They were very open about the current state of engineering and the company's direction moving forward. The systems design interview was fun to solve and work through.

Overall, it was a very smooth experience.
