A great company with a challenging culture and org structure

Pros

Great perks - ex, free lunch and dinner, free snacks and drinks, product testing stipend, cell phone reimbursement, Great mission of providing financing to under-served portions of the population Great work life balance - if you want to work just 8 hours a day, you can set those boundaries and people will respect them.

Cons

Lots and lots of interoffice politics - an executive team (with some people that are clearly on their way out) with limited strategic direction combined with tons of young people in a loosely defined org structure leads to a lot of politics. Engineering focused - Affirm is a financial company, but has a huge emphasis from the top on engineering and sometimes makes the rest of the employees feel like second class citizens. The downside to the above pro of great work-life balance is that there are a small portion of the Company that ends up doing an out-sized portion of the work with little to no recognition.
