Pros

Good Benefits (medical, dental, parental leave)

Cons

There is a lot of politics within the leadership team. Unfortunately, this impacts IC of their teams. The organization is constantly changing. There are too many middle managers, resulting in really long decision processes and packed Zoom meetings. My manager changed every 6 months, my manager's manager every 3 months (maybe more?), resulting in a lack of vision, strategy, and team culture. It's not a good place to build or have a family, as the work-life balance is pretty bad. They laid off 20% of the employees in Feb 2023, said they would never do it again, and laid off again one year later in Feb 2024. When I joined, I wanted to stay at Affirm for years, but I was disappointed and left after 18 months. I wish I had left another review...
