Bad Managers, Bad at DEI

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- good benefits - nice co workers

Cons

- bad managers are allowed to stay at their job and there is no recourse if your manager sucks - very bad at DEI and treating women and people of color well, lots of advertising about DEI which makes the majority (people not from these groups) feel like Affirm is doing a lot but it's largely lip service and unpaid work being done by people from these communities
