Pros

I don't know other managers but I've got lucky with mine. They are supportive and are trying to provide me with opportunities to have more impact and grow my career. My team is made of very productive, supportive and engaged teammates. What a relief.

Cons

Codebase is pretty bad. Internally created tools/stack is pretty bad but there are talks of dropping the in-house tools and use more standard stack. I already saw some improvements and investments in terms of internal tooling to support ephemeral dev environments and a migration from one testing tool to another that has been handled by a dev-experience team with no impact to other teams (thanks!)

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.
