I was contacted by Affirm because my profile matched a role they were recruiting for, and at first it seemed like it would be a straightforward process.

Instead, it dragged on for weeks and then ended with me never hearing back. The timeline and the number of touchpoints made it feel heavier than it needed to be, and honestly it left a bad taste—especially since I had spent so much time interviewing.

The process involved a recruiter interview, a technical interview, a manager interview, and four additional technical interviews. Altogether it added up to roughly 8–10 hours across multiple days. After the first technical assessment, I had to sign an NDA even though I didn’t feel like anything had been explained in enough detail to justify why
