      Manager Interview

      Oct 5, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Affirm in Aug 2020

      Interview

      The recruiter and recruiting coordinator were both very friendly and communicative about the process. I also enjoyed their calendar app to book a call with the hiring manager. My experience turned somewhat negative when I had a phone call with the hiring manager. During the call, I felt as if he was not that interested in my background since the questions were not relevant to my experience or the role I was interviewing for. (Note: The role I interviewed for was spot on with my experience.) I think the question that caused me to be turned down was when he asked about what I was looking for in a career. One thing I mentioned was along the lines of how I was impressed with Affirm's Diversity and Inclusion focus groups and that I valued a multicultural workplace since it drives creativity in the workplace. This seemed to not be the answer he was looking for because when I asked him about what drew him to Affirm he said he was not interested in diversity and inclusion. This threw me off guard since Affirm actively boasts about their diversity and inclusion programs, and especially since there is still a tiny percentage of multi-cultural (especially Hispanic and African-American) employees at Affirm. Since I come from a multi-racial background, and the hiring manager was a white male I believe this could have been the deciding factor for whether or not he wanted to proceed with the interviewing process. However, I hope that's not the case. Overall it was a neutral experience for me and would have otherwise been positive if it wasn't for the untactful mannerisms of the HM. Judging by some of the other remarks here it seems that diversity is something that Affirm as a company boasts about to make themselves seem relevant, but the managers seem to be uninterested in actively recruiting those from minority backgrounds. Overall I'm glad it didn't work out since I would not have enjoyed working for someone with the HM's attitude.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience interviewing with us, and I’m very sorry that we fell short in offering you an exceptional candidate experience. We make concerted efforts to take action on and be held accountable for our Diversity Equity and Inclusion initiatives, so it’s disappointing to hear that this was not represented in your call with the hiring manager. We acknowledge that we still have work to do in this department, and have dedicated staff and programs in place to ensure we are actively prioritizing diversity of backgrounds and experiences in our recruiting efforts, and removing unconscious bias from the interview process. Again, I appreciate your feedback and this instance has been treated with the utmost concern. If you are open to a conversation, I’d like to hear more about your experience. Please reach out to your recruiter to put us in touch and we can set up a call from there. Regards, Jude Komuves, CPO

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Affirm

      Interview

      I feel led on by the recruiter who kept saying positive things about my interview performance just to give the role to someone else. The sheer volume of interviews I completed was outrageous for what the role is.
