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".

Very fast process with really friendly people. Great interview experience. The process went as such:
1. OA with standard leetcode style questions
2. Recruiter call
3. Technical focused on practical coding
4. Virtual onsite consisting of a behavioural and 2 practical coding technicals

Overall good experience. Recruiter is very helpful along the way. 2 technical rounds and 1 behavioral round. First met with an engineer for the 1st technical and another engineer a few days later for the second round technical followed by a behavioral with a manager.
