Pros

Working at Affirm is incredible. There is no where else I want to work at this moment. I am learning every day and am constantly challenged. The team at Affirm is bright, curious, and creative. It's a high density of intelligent people in every role. The culture at Affirm is centered around integrity. People here care about creating a better financial product and as a result are fairly outspoken. Best argument wins, no matter where it comes from as long as it aligns with the principles of the company, has the data to back it up, and is supported by the strongest logic. Most importantly, the leaders here are refreshingly transparent about the status of the company. There are no questions left unanswered, and the exec team proactively works to explain potentially confusing issues in the company.

Cons

Most people here are very technical. Our founders are previous CTO's at other companies.

Pros

Some of the smartest and most articulate people I have met. The company culture is exceptionally hardworking, however there is plenty of fun to be had as well. The leadership team is inspiring and dedicated to the company mission - this trickles down to the rest of the employees as well.

Cons

Really no negatives to share. Plenty of work to be done, and everyone is up to the challenge.
