Pros

Joined Affirm in December 2019. Based on their funding, age, and general position in the market, I figured it was a late stage, established company. And while it certainly is, the hunger for growth and innovation, as well as empowerment you feel as an employee to take an idea and run with it, has impressed me. Great experience so far, and I have no reason to expect anything to change.

Cons

The alternative payments space is competitive and subject to frequently evolving regulations, and the path forward continues to change every day

Pros

Affirm has a lot of talented engineers and high impact, interesting products to work on. The company is remote first and I traveled abroad for a few weeks a year while working.

Cons

Most of the projects were under tight deadlines which put a lot of stress on the engineers. Management didn't really understand what was required of engineers for many of the projects which made it difficult for them to communicate the team's needs upward. My team was short staffed for senior and staff engineers so techincal leadership was also lacking.
