I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
The internal recruiter reach out with the current open role via email. After a 30min screening call with her, another 30min call with the hiring manager was scheduled. On-site interview consisted a panel of 5 team members (including the hiring manager) - all very bright and smart. Asked relevant questions to the role and directly related to my recent past experience/role.
Note to the panel: Offering food and snacks on-site is not a differentiator anymore. Most of the startups have been offering it since 10Yrs.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm in May 2025
Interview
I don't know if they're actually hiring or trying to screen candidates to look busy. I spoke with HR first then went to the hiring manager. HR instructed me to prepare specific STAR examples on a topic and I spent hours refining those. Hiring manager gave me a personality interview for a serious senior level marketing role, then I was summarily rejected. Horrible experience and complete waste of time.
