    Stay away

    1.0

    Current Employee / Senior Software Engineer

    Pros: - company pays 100% medical insurance premium , some perks like technology and lifestyle spend, but no 401k match so I wouldn’t say pros one balances the other to some extent

    Cons: - middle management has no basic people leader skills, constant gaslighting. - ridiculously slow CI/CD process impacting productivity, you spend more time shipping then building a product - poor architecture and lot of bad decisions will...

    Terrible toxic culture

    2.0

    Current Employee / Product Manager

    Pros: Benefits, compensation, and some of the people are great. Work life balance is generally good

    Cons: Terrible management, opaque promotions, some really toxic people. Many people who were hired when Affirm was small are still here and should not be.

    5.0

    Current Employee / Senior Software Engineer

    Pros: - Quite strong compensation looking at EU market - Skip-level manager and higher leadership is approachable and open for feedback - Good work-life balance, work can be demanding at times but you can take time off later to recharge

    Cons: - Had a few managers and their performance differs, but I see Affirm is constantly raising the bar here; If you got bad one likely they will be replaced - Quite dynamic environment, can become chaotic, but there is clear rationale for ch...

    Operates like a start up, which doesn’t always work for a midsize company

    4.0

    Current Employee / Risk Compliance Analyst

    Pros: - Great values and people - Flexibility - Interesting products - Doing well as a business

    Cons: - Very few resources or structure to ensure managers are doing right by their employees - Lack of growth in headcount can make it hard to advance into people management without a lot of turnover
