I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
After talking to the recruiter, there were two phone screens (where they asked 2 out of the top 5 questions for them from Leetcode). After that, there was an onsite (with 3 interviews, a behavioral with the product manager, and a product display).
I ended up not getting an offer, because "my code wasn't optimal enough".
