I had such high hopes

Pros

Great benefits, and pay.

Cons

I had a difficult time, with a medical situation, coupled with a death in the family. Not only was the “manager” not helpful during the medical situation, but she demanded a death certificate immediately after the death. I cannot recommend a company that cares that little for their employees during their time of need. It’s easy to help your employees, as they are helping you make money.... but, when they are facing multiple hardships, and to show such disrespect speaks volume.

Pros

Work from home is the norm not the exception. Benefits are good but for how long...?

Cons

People come first is supposed to be one of the company values, that is a joke. Used to be a much better place to work but not anymore. Selfish managers that do not look after their team but just after their own. Lots of double talking and empty promises ("you're the best team, I'm impressed!" etc, etc) Managers with zero experience managing people or projects, because hiring/promoting inexperienced candidates is cheaper than hiring qualified candidates. With another round of layoffs being a very real possibility, is everyone for themselves, backstabbing and hiding information/knowledge that could benefit projects just to have control of the outcome and take credit. Back in November 2022 Affirm laid off some very talented people and eventually replaced them with internal inexperienced ones, the result has been very low morale and a mess of projects that go nowhere because everyone is trying to show how indispensable they are (job security) Looking for a position/work at Affirm? I would look elsewhere, unless Affirm is the only option and you need the money. It is a job, but you probably will not be happy in the dysfunctional mess Affirm is today. Sad because it used to be a good place to work.

Pros

Good pay and good benefits, and overall interesting work

Cons

Leadership at all levels is the most toxic and politically-focused I have ever experienced. When I was first hired, the leadership in place actually valued and listened to their employees, but changes over the last 2 years have seen almost all of those people get fired or quit due to the new leadership. Current leadership (particularly Directors and VPs) believe they are the smartest people in the room because they are in positions of leadership, when in reality they would not cut it at all at any other company at their level, and it feels like they are only there due to tenure and playing the political game in order to get promoted. They are not making the right decisions from a business standpoint, and are constantly cutting down their employees and disregarding their input. You walk away from a meeting feeling like you cannot do your job. Overall it has become the most toxic and demoralizing workplace I have ever been a part of, yet everyone feels stuck because the pay and benefits are too good.
