Affirm Senior Software Developer reviews

Employees do not trust management or other colleagues, which leads to low morale and a sense of insecurity. There is a lack of open and transparent communication, resulting in misunderstandings, rumors, and a general sense of confusion, mainly due to the secretive nature of the business. Managers often exert excessive control over employees, stifling innovation and great ideas. People I have spoken to often feel undervalued and unappreciated for their contributions. There is a toxic behavior among the legal team and how they are with individuals, sometimes bullying is either tolerated or ignored to achieve a goal. There is a culture of resistance to change, espicially with new members of staff, where ideas are NEVER listened to.

- Excessive push for unrealistic deadlines with terribly under scoped projects. - 5 team members spread between multiple projects with little to no members working on the same one. On top of that, many random asks, tasks, and questions. - Legacy codebase is over engineered, spaghetti, and breaking every other hour making development a slog. - Had no say in what the team wanted to work on when we were reorged into maintaining and being a dumpster for legacy code and tools they don't want to work on anymore. - No leadership and management does not seem to care about burnout and disengagement until almost everyone is ready to coast or leave dropping productivity. - Benefits and days off are being cut or dwindling to that of any other company and worse than some in some aspects to decrease spends and increase stock value.
