Affirm tackles some interesting problems.
Performance management standards have historically been lax (although this could be a con for higher achievers).
During the IPO, Affirm's equity administrator experienced a system malfunction, causing many employees to lose a good chunk of their pre-IPO proceeds. Affirm decided it was not their problem and left employees on their own. Overall, a good company to work for, but I would be skeptical of the true value of any stock-based compensation you're offered.
