What is the salary like at Affirm?

Great people, pay is good, benefits are awesome, great work culture

Fast changing, your role and tasks might change as you work there

Good pay and good benefits, and overall interesting work

Leadership at all levels is the most toxic and politically-focused I have ever experienced. When I was first hired, the leadership in place actually valued and listened to their employees, but changes over the last 2 years have seen almost all of those people get fired or quit due to the new leadership. Current leadership (particularly Directors and VPs) believe they are the smartest people in the room because they are in positions of leadership, when in reality they would not cut it at all at any other company at their level, and it feels like they are only there due to tenure and playing the political game in order to get promoted. They are not making the right decisions from a business standpoint, and are constantly cutting down their employees and disregarding their input. You walk away from a meeting feeling like you cannot do your job. Overall it has become the most toxic and demoralizing workplace I have ever been a part of, yet everyone feels stuck because the pay and benefits are too good.

Good pay and good benefits. Used to have great leaders, but they all left...

If you're considering joining the Product Management team, take some time to research the leadership (VPs & Directors). Several advanced internally more through politics than through demonstrated product leadership. The result is a hierarchical, insecure, and often hostile environment. Constructive dissent is discouraged — unless it comes from leadership, which often critiques others' work more to appear smarter than to build better products. Many team members feel the need to constantly manage optics and loyalty just to stay safe. There’s no cohesive product vision at this point. Priorities shift frequently, the strategy feels reactive and short-sighted, and much of the work is about catching up rather than leading. Innovation has stalled, morale is low, and projects often revolve around squeezing out minor revenue bumps rather than delivering meaningful impact. The compensation and benefits are strong, which is likely why many stay. But make no mistake — the culture is demoralizing, and unless you thrive in environments with condescending leadership, where politics outweigh product, it's worth thinking twice.

Good work life balance (except in tech/product). Great pay and benefits, especially Forma stipends and equity/bonuses. Peer-level co-workers tend to be really cool people.

Middle management is bloated, decisions are made with little regard for customer experience or compliance. Lots of “cooks in the kitchen” requiring more documentation than actual execution. Very start-up-oriented despite being a public company with large market share. Performance expectations are unclear and undocumented. Heavy emphasis on “opportunities” with little regard or acknowledgement of hard work or progress. Over-reliant on vendors to do all of our customer-facing work but no one is willing to change that. Too much emphasis on what senior leadership wants with little room for actual contribution. People get hired for a specific skill set and then are lunged into a job that is vastly different than what they were hired to do. Growth is limited and there is a huge disconnect between leadership’s view on the company and the actual customer and product experience.

Pay is good, benefits are great, insurance is great, remote is amazing.

Such a toxic environment, you can never get promoted or move up, ideas are stolen all the time, no recognition. You get told one thing when in reality the opposite is going on. If you enjoy being anxious and worried all the time this is the place for you. Suddenly the way you do things will be considered wrong after thats the way its been done for years. You will be given random work with 0 guidance.

I met some of the best people at affirm, culture was great, and great benefits and pay but it’s a facade.

It seems since post IPO, and RIFs that culture has truly shifted. Middle Management often does not give honest or unbiased feedback and willing to tell you you’re doing great but talk differently behind your back to higher ups. Lack of transparency and honesty and a sort of fairness element I feel comes from management and upper levels. Favoritism, lack of growth. Not sure what is happening with start ups but the level of greed coming from the Csuite is slightly alarming. I would avoid this org at all costs.
