Pay and benefits not worth the post IPO stress

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

I met some of the best people at affirm, culture was great, and great benefits and pay but it’s a facade.

Cons

It seems since post IPO, and RIFs that culture has truly shifted. Middle Management often does not give honest or unbiased feedback and willing to tell you you’re doing great but talk differently behind your back to higher ups. Lack of transparency and honesty and a sort of fairness element I feel comes from management and upper levels. Favoritism, lack of growth. Not sure what is happening with start ups but the level of greed coming from the Csuite is slightly alarming. I would avoid this org at all costs.

Pros

Used to be money. Not anymore.

Cons

Layoffs, Layoffs, and more Layoffs… Stay Away Recruiters will contact candidates and recruit them. Then 50% of those recruited will get laid off in less than a year. Rinse and repeat. Do not join unless you are desperate. Too much politics Management doesn’t know what’s going on
