I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
1 Phone Technical then an onsite.
Interviewers were smarter than my average FANG-type interview. Questions were engaging and difficult and everyone was super nice. Leetcode medium-hard and typical system design questions. In the end, I took this offer over other well known top tech companies because my interviewers were so smart and empathetic.
The only main complaint I had was that I interviewed in the SF office for a position in NYC. I never got to see the NYC office. Maybe I'll come back and post about how that goes in a bit.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Scaling and growing a company often come with a variety of challenges, and we have passed along your feedback to the respective teams. Welcome to Affirm!
