Pros

Remote first, perks, health insurance, flexibility

Cons

Everyone is burnt out. Lots of politics, different opinion is no longer appreciated, and you could even run into issues expressing it if with leadership. ( they encourage it but don’t mean it)

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.
