Pros

Engineers are very knowledgeable and great to work with. Subpar engineers who don’t meet the Affirm standard and the expectations of their role are let go within a year. So not a lot of incompetent engineers, which contributes to the high quality of work and great communication within the engineering teams. Leadership is also great and has a clear view on where they want the company to go. They’re not afraid to answer tough questions during all hands as well.

Cons

Not much to complain about.

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.
