Pros

over valuated company decent product Good place if you are a manager

Cons

No diversity - 80% come from 3 colleges and are annoying bullying and overconfident Unprofessional middle management Super exposed to the sub prime market - ticking time-bomb No core competency - any credit card company can shut Affirm Operations are a joke

We believe in creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, which is why we recruit from a variety of schools and have a dedicated Diversity & Inclusion Council to ensure our office is a welcoming environment for all individuals. We've also implemented immersive training and development programs for our people managers to make sure they're equipped with the tools they need to effectively lead our teams. We regret that your experience at Affirm didn't reflect these efforts, and I wish you all the best wherever you end up.

Pros

I've been at Affirm for little over 2 months and the experience so far has been amazing. People here are so smart, every meeting I go to I learn something new. - Can not emphasize this enough, people here are very bright. The business is pretty complicated but after spending some time here, people just get it. The ramp up speed is pretty crazy in my mind. - People are friendly, collaborative and helpful. When I have questions and reach out to people, all were willing to help / support me despite their busy schedule - Senior leadership are down -to-earth and provide good advice / feedback when I had questions - A lot of new initiatives happening. People have true ownership here and they work hard to deliver the best experience for our clients / customers

Cons

The learning curve is somewhat steep . For those who learn quickly (without a lot of hand holding), they tend to thrive here while those who need more structured step-by-step guidance may struggle. Depends on the position but there is a lot of work that needs to get done and if the number one priority for someone is work-life balance, this may not happen in the short-term.
