Pros

- You can allocate time to contribute to the project. There is no rush as in startups and no inflexibility like in corporations. - People (other engineers across Affirm and management) is really helpful and supportive. - Everything is remote. This was the first place which did remote onboarding right. Process was well documented, went easy and there was no chaos. - Nice additional budgets for tech, lifestyle and food spending

Cons

Salary could be higher, but compared to bigger corporations lowering salaries in Polish market, it's understandable.

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.
