Pros

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

Cons

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!
