Pros

Forma benefits, fully remote work

Cons

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend working for this company. I was constantly micromanaged by my team lead as they only care about stats and metric at this company. It’s really unfortunate that there was a lack of understanding for burnout and unrealistic expectations by the QA team. During my time there have been over 8 members of my team that have left the company. The turnover rate was becoming extremely alarming. In the beginning, they try to make it look, as if they are all about worklife balance, and put their employees first, they definitely sold dream there, because my experience was extremely negative. Lastly, there is no opportunity for growth at this company at all. It’s extremely discouraging how the system works and it just goes to show that they do not want anyone to grow.

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.
