I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2021

Typical interview process: recruiter call, one-hour coding interview, hiring manager call. The hiring manager focuses on the development cycle and communication skills, and a few high level technical experience in the previous companies.
