Pros

monthly forma wallet benefits were decent

Cons

- micromanaging leaders (don't expect to have ANY type of breaks outside the 1 hour lunch they provide) - disorganized work environment ( you're told 1 thing by HR, and then leaders will tell you another, but policy is something different) - incompetent leaders - don't expect help or support from leaders as well as I have asked for assistance multiple times which ended up with being ignored or redirecting you to ask other people for help in which they have no knowledge of - be advised that there is various of systems you need to use just for daily clock ins and outs, lunch, vacations, sick leave, etc

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.
