Pros

- While the hiring process was on the lengthier side, it was extremely valuable in letting me get to know the team and company. I felt very prepared going into my first day. - The legal recruiting team is absolutely amazing. The individual I worked with was super responsive and made sure I was well informed and prepared throughout the process. Truly a delightful experience. - The onboarding process is also top quality. There are plenty of touch points and trainings in the first few weeks that help to ramp up new Affirmers. Even in a remote setting, I felt welcomed and included. - Benefits are unbelievable.

Cons

From an onboarding perspective, I felt that there were some items that could have been addressed prior to the first day. There was a lot to do in the first week, and much of it probably could have been done beforehand (rather than having a whirlwind of tasks to complete within a very short window).

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.
