Pros

- Good work culture - Great people to work with - Opportunities for growth

Cons

While the workload for the international employees is as intense as the US employees, the compensation is much much lower for international employees. It totally makes sense that the pay is not as high as the employees in the US based on the local labor cost of each country, however right now it is even not as competitive as the local tech company while the work life balance is worse than a lot of local company for the international employees.

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.
