How are career development opportunities at Affirm?

Pay is good, benefits are great, insurance is great, remote is amazing.

Such a toxic environment, you can never get promoted or move up, ideas are stolen all the time, no recognition. You get told one thing when in reality the opposite is going on. If you enjoy being anxious and worried all the time this is the place for you. Suddenly the way you do things will be considered wrong after thats the way its been done for years. You will be given random work with 0 guidance.

The reason I did not give Affirm a 1 to work at is because salary and benefits are good here.

Although all companies have some level of politics, Affirm was a nightmare to work for. There was constant sneaky sabotage, outright backstabbing, and bullying. There are not equal opportunities for all unless you are part of the "in" crowd. VPs are horrible, creating a toxic culture where people are constantly scared of getting laid off. There is virtually no upward career growth, good management, or opportunity here. If you value those things (and a good mental health) look elsewhere!

- Remote - Competitive pay - Relatively good benefits, but no HSA - Macbook Pros - Monthly wellness & tech fund - Free therapy (you will need it)

- Nonexistent WLB: they will work you like a dog - No growth opportunities: managers will string you along for years - Leadership constantly changing priorities, frequent reorgs - Amazon-like "high performance" PIP culture - people just disappear - Very stingy on perks/swag unlike most tech companies - No 401K match - Siloed teams, often doing redundant work - Really toxic culture - beware!!!! - Everyone is burnt out, not a strong company culture generally

Remote All email based Good benefits and decent pay

Few growth opportunities Multiple Lay-Offs Main value was transparency, but they never were clear

Great salary Great benefits Lots of opportunities to grow

Had some payroll issues in the past, but they seem to have been mitigated

- Lots of opportunities to move up internally - Competitive pay - Fully remote - Management that actually cares - Great coworkers

- None at this time

Exceptional benefits; exciting prospects for the medium-long term for the company; talented coworkers; good career development opportunities; good recognition for impactful work.

WLB can be very team-dependent; sometimes-difficult legacy infrastructure to navigate (but there's constant work improving this); siloing between teams.

The team is amazing, benefits are great!

No ladder to help progress in career.

Great people, unparalleled work-life balance, and not super demanding workload. The people there are smart and kind, and the company is doing well and I very much believe in the company's success.

How fast you grow in your career is dependent on the team you're on. Some teams have little work to do, more politics, unhelpful managers, and you're stuck working on trivial things which lead down a slimmer path to promotion. Other teams are fast-paced, impactful, and foster a strong team culture. You need to be aware of this and push for your own growth.

Exciting product Great product development Lots of opportunities for growth

Company was going through a lot of changes, and teams were very disjointed. Decision making within the B2B group was chaotic at best. It felt like upper management were setting unrealistic/unobtainable goals that had little to no input from actual teams.
