Interview
I applied at Affirm a couple weeks before Christmas and went through the Affirm interview process after the holidays.
A recruiter reached out to me and both her and another colleague handled scheduling and reminders for all interviews. They were very communicative and quick to provide next steps after each stage.
I went through a recruiter screen, 1:1 with the design manager, and then a portfolio presentation and app review with two designers each. I didn’t make it to the final interview but feedback was quick and I liked everyone I got to meet.
