I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in July 2016
Interview
Affirm moved fast!
Phases were: (1) phone screen (recruiter), (2) Take-home case study, (3) Phone case study review (hiring manager), (4) 5hr onsite (case studies, culture fit)
I felt like they were one of the most best companies I've interacted with in terms of respecting candidate time. They didn't waste time, stuck to the original timelines laid out, and only required one onsite.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- How would you redesign X user flow?
- How much money do you think the average American has in their bank account right now?
- How have you worked through disagreements with engineers?
I just finished the 30 min HM interview - all behavioral. I was asked to describe one project in details and was asked several follow-up questions to discuss deeper. overall good experience.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Affirm (Michigan City, MS) in July 2024
Interview
One call with an internal recruiter where I was asked to go over each experience in my resume one at a time.
I had applied over 5 months before I got this interview invite but the person I spoke with did not seem to know the exact role I had applied for.
The call also seemed like a routine call just to cover the basics and I was told that the notes would be passed to the hiring team.
Straight forward interview with the process being laid out for you by the recruiter in the first call. Very thorough. Talk through your relevant experience and any pertinent questions. Not much more to say.
