      A driven team that genuinely cares

      Pros

      I've been with Affinity for a year now, and I continue to be impressed every day by the talented, empathetic, kind, intelligent people that I get to work with. This is the first startup I've ever worked for that has core values written down that they held themselves accountable to. Every person I've interacted with has been so genuinely passionate and caring, willing to step in when they're asked to help—and even stepping up when they haven't been asked to—and wanting to see the team succeed. The organization has grown exponentially in my tenure, and even through the growth and growing pains it was a comfort to be able to reliably point toward consistent team and company goals.

      Cons

      A growing remote workforce sometimes feels distant and separate, but this is more a natural result of organizational growth than a con per se. Typical startup pains: changing systems, building and rebuilding processes, and operating under the assumption that the ideal state of growth is one of controlled chaos. Nothing will ever be "easy" in this environment, but the growth that has come from that has been worth the struggle.

      Pros

      My coworkers at Affinity are AWESOME - it's great to work with people you can rely on to get the job done well, people who can communicate their thoughts well, people who will celebrate your wins and give honest feedback about areas you can improve. From a "getting things done" standpoint it is great to have talented and reliable coworkers, but they also regularly help me learn new things and grow in my role. The employees foster a culture that has humor and kindness in a way that makes me enjoy the social aspects of work! Obviously a lot of this culture has to do with the individual employees at the company, but Affinity does a good job of hiring people who fit into this culture and encouraging it to flourish. Management at Affinity, from first-level managers to the CEO, has a real commitment to listening to feedback and trying to address that feedback. Managers regularly solicit feedback from their reports and genuinely try to make improvements based on that feedback, or at the very least do a better job of explaining the constraints that have led to the situation. This is also true of senior leadership - they truly want to hear employee feedback and regularly schedule all hands, round tables and one-on-ones to hear from feedback/suggestions from people at all levels of the company. ^ There are lots of other good things but they mostly flow from these two - great culture but also a commitment to learning and improving. Work-life balance note: the company is very supportive of work-life balance; you are not expected to work outside normal working hours, and everyone is very supportive when you need to take time off for personal emergencies. You also get yelled at if you don't take enough vacation.

      Cons

      Affinity definitely isn't the best fit for everyone! It's a mediumish startup so there is a balance of process and chaos, and your contributions as an employee are important! If you're looking to clock in, put in minimal effort, and clock out, Affinity isn't the right place for you! The work you do is important and the expectation is you'll bring your A game (no "rest and vest"ing). You'll also need to be willing to be flexible - company priorities change, projects can get shelved as we pursue new opportunities, people sometimes shift priorities and teams based on overall company goals, and we iterate on process to best fit the team as we change and grow. Personally this totally works for me, but I know some people are stressed out by changes and so the company might not be a great fit! On the flip-side, if you embrace chaos and want an experience with minimal process where you can just work on whatever, interface closely with customers, and wear a lot of hats while growing into your role, an earlier-stage startup is probably a better fit! Affinity has a decent amount of process; product decisions are made by a built-out product team so an engineer can't just work on whatever they want and a salesperson can't just ask for a feature to get done for one customer.

      Pros

      Work isnt overwhelming with a great work life balance.

      Cons

      Leadership is constantly leaving. And product has no idea what to do. They create features no one asked for and won't create things customers want.

      Thanks for taking the time to post to Glassdoor. I appreciate your contributions to Affinity. I’m sorry that you find Affinity to be just “a paycheck.” I aspire to greater impact and zeal for and from myself and all of my Affinian colleagues. Product Management recently presented Affinity’s product roadmap to the entire company (on February 6). The presentation was followed by a survey which included a rating for how effectively the road map aligns with customer needs. The “net promoter score” for that road map question (as scored by the entire company) was 44 (which is high). This roadmap has been carefully validated with customers, particularly our largest customers. I’ve also personally shared our roadmap and strategy with ~30 customers (1:1) and another 50+ in larger presentations. The feedback has been consistently positive. If you’d like to meet 1:1 to discuss your feedback, that would be great. Slack or email me anytime. Respectfully, - Ken Fine (CEO)
