Pros

This is an awesome place to work. I just started working with Affirm and so far it has been great. The people, product and processes, all are top-notch. Everyone from recruiters to HR and the team are supportive and respectful. The interviews, onboarding and knowledge transfer is going seamlessly in-spite of trying times. I love it so far and I am sure everyone would love to be an Affirmer!
