Pros

There are some incredible people in the company and made lifelong friends and colleagues

Cons

If you look at an old Affirm job posting, it says something about how hubris was a reason for the downfall of banks. Unfortunately, the senior leaders and especially execs not only embody hubris, but also perpetuate an environment of cronyism... arrogance... sexism... biases... and an exceptionally low to non-existent EQ. Take a look at the product and engineer org and their history of ill-conceived reorgs where incredible product managers were pushed out or placed in roles where they would either disengage and leave or underperform since it misaligned with their actual strengths and talent.
