Affinity Software Engineer reviews

The people and culture are amazing - everyone is super friendly and willing to help, and we're all in the same boat of continuing to make this company grow as fast as possible. There are a lot of exciting problems to work on.

My coworkers at Affinity are AWESOME - it's great to work with people you can rely on to get the job done well, people who can communicate their thoughts well, people who will celebrate your wins and give honest feedback about areas you can improve. From a "getting things done" standpoint it is great to have talented and reliable coworkers, but they also regularly help me learn new things and grow in my role. The employees foster a culture that has humor and kindness in a way that makes me enjoy the social aspects of work! Obviously a lot of this culture has to do with the individual employees at the company, but Affinity does a good job of hiring people who fit into this culture and encouraging it to flourish. Management at Affinity, from first-level managers to the CEO, has a real commitment to listening to feedback and trying to address that feedback. Managers regularly solicit feedback from their reports and genuinely try to make improvements based on that feedback, or at the very least do a better job of explaining the constraints that have led to the situation. This is also true of senior leadership - they truly want to hear employee feedback and regularly schedule all hands, round tables and one-on-ones to hear from feedback/suggestions from people at all levels of the company. ^ There are lots of other good things but they mostly flow from these two - great culture but also a commitment to learning and improving. Work-life balance note: the company is very supportive of work-life balance; you are not expected to work outside normal working hours, and everyone is very supportive when you need to take time off for personal emergencies. You also get yelled at if you don't take enough vacation.
