      Amazing Place to Work!

      Pros

      The financial industry is a massive and highly competitive space, which makes for a great fast-paced environment. The problems you set out to solve are challenging and large scale. Everyone at Affirm is extremely motivated, collaborative and strives to build great products. The leadership team is one of the best out there and make themselves available to everyone. There is a great level of trust and transparency, and taking ownership is highly encouraged/supported. All in all, it's a group of talent people who enjoy what they do and make for a great company culture. Best place I've worked.

      Cons

      It's a startup so you'll definitely work hard, but if you love what you do (like the individuals working here) it's a non-issue.

      Dream job

      Pros

      The people and the mission are the two primary things I love about Affirm. In terms of people, I am surrounded with people who are smart and care about their work. Having the opportunity to work with and learn from so many people that are so good at what they do is a dream come true. With regard to our long-term mission it is daunting and exciting. While we remain focused on our short-term goals, it is exciting to know the clear strategy for achieving our future aspirations as well. I am not so naive to think that path won't change, but having a clear "North Star" is important and adjusting the path is half the fun. Just a note on my rating of "Work/Life Balance"... We work hard because we care about what we are working on and we want it to be successful. Whether you are right out of school or have a family, people with both backgrounds have been very successful at Affirm.

      Cons

      The financial industry is not for the faint of heart. Ex. Building a social network and you lose someone's photo upload it's not the end of the world. Building a financial system and you lose someones money simply can't happen. With this comes a level of responsibility and attention to detail that not everyone may find appealing. That said, I assure you that the challenges you will face and opportunities you have will greatly expand your career and refine your skills.

      Pros

      Working in fintech with some of the best! Strong engineering team that has a commitment to quality and rigor. World-class leadership team

      Cons

      It's a startup so sometimes there is a lot of work to do and things to be ironed out. The team has a lot of experience and it runs much more smoothly than other startups where I've worked.
