Affirm interview questions

Usual 45 minutes technical phone screen. Interviewer connected only via phone. I am not sure how did interviewer was able to follow along my coding solution. I did solve the coding problem in less than 30 minutes and also provided steps to improve it further.

I never write reviews but felt compelled to after not getting an offer after my final round. I had all the qualifications they were seeking but I can't help to think that the lack of diversity at Affirm played a role here in not getting the job. As part of the hiring process, they made their company's Diversity & Inclusion deck available as a way to sell the company and they have stats on all the "progress" they are making but the one that is laughable is in their Black/African American hiring. From 2018 - 2019 it went from 3% to 4% while the company more than doubled their hiring from about 400 to 800 employees. It's laughable as to why they would even include this abysmal stat in that deck, they should just hide it and not include. All other categories saw a significant uptick (e.g. women in leadership roles, LGBTQ). It's probably a blessing in disguise that I was not hired because its pretty clear the company's culture and leadership does not want to hire people that look like me (African American). Affirm's interview process is very lengthy. 1. Initial phone screen with recruiter 2. Followed by phone interview with hiring manager 3. 1st onsite with two PM's (2 hours), 1st hour talking through a hypothetical problem and how to solve it based on their business. 2nd hour walking through a product you launched 4. Final onsite is 4.5 hours!!!! A 30min interview with cross functional team members individually (Sr. Product Designer, SVP of Product, hiring manager, 2 separate Sr. PMs, Engineering Manager, HR recruiter)
