Excessive push for unrealistic deadlines with terribly underscoped projects.
Five team members spread between multiple projects, with little to no members working on the same one. On top of that, many random asks, tasks, and questions.
Legacy codebase is over-engineered, spaghetti, and breaking every other hour, making development a slog.
Had no say in what the team wanted to work on when we were reorganized into maintaining and being a dumpster for legacy code and tools they no longer want to work on.
No leadership, and management does not seem to care about burnout and disengagement until almost everyone is ready to coast or leave, dropping productivity.
Benefits and days off are being cut or dwindling to that of any other company, and worse than some in some aspects, to decrease spending and increase stock value.
Dedicate more resources to make engineering life easier instead of pushing for only projects with monetary gain or legal obligation. No one wants to work on portions of code that guarantee and encourage burnout.
The Affirm Recruiter reached out and explained the process, which had 4 rounds: a 1-on-1 problem-solving round (generally a classic LeetCode style in a language of your choice), a hiring manager round, a systems design round, and a virtual onsite rou
Coding and sys design interviews were easy to medium. The hiring manager interview was very weird. The manager seemed to be reading from a script and did not show much interest. The manager did not ask any resume-related questions.
The interview was scheduled for one hour. I was given a scenario-based question and was able to complete the task within 30 minutes. I clearly explained the entire flow to the interviewer. He appreciated my approach and the solution I provided. Ho
