J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Affirm
Entretien
Interview 1 with the recruiter. Usual pitch about the company and my current background. After the interview, she didn't get back to me for a really long time even after email follow ups. Interview 2 with a VP. The VP was late and asked to reschedule at the very last minute. Usual fit and more corporate selling of the company.
Interview 3 was a take home assignment with 24hr limit. I completed it diligently and had an extremely impersonal reject email after few days with no proper explanation. Question was quite simple and I am fairly confident of providing a good solution and provide enough test cases and design. I expected at least a follow up over the phone and provide proper feedback on the take home assignment.
They kept mentioning that people come first at Affirm. But it was clearly lacking. My honest advice, refuse to do any take home tests from them. Its a waste of everybody's time!
