I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2016
Interview
This was the fastest PM interview process I've ever experienced. Knowing that I had other offers, I did a phone screen in the morning and they set up a phone interview with the hiring manager the same day in the afternoon. They brought me onsite the next day and I knew by the end of the day if I got an offer. The onsite interviewers were diverse, super smart, honest, and cared to know what I was looking for. Some interviews felt more like conversations, but there were hard questions and whiteboarding exercises sprinkled throughout. After I received the offer, they took the time to meet with me more to answer my questions and meet more teammates. I spoke with the recruiter everyday up until I signed and he was super communicative, keeping me posted on what was happening when on their side.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Whiteboard case interview about making product choices with the Affirm app
I just finished the 30 min HM interview - all behavioral. I was asked to describe one project in details and was asked several follow-up questions to discuss deeper. overall good experience.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Affirm (Michigan City, MS) in Jul 2024
Interview
One call with an internal recruiter where I was asked to go over each experience in my resume one at a time.
I had applied over 5 months before I got this interview invite but the person I spoke with did not seem to know the exact role I had applied for.
The call also seemed like a routine call just to cover the basics and I was told that the notes would be passed to the hiring team.
Straight forward interview with the process being laid out for you by the recruiter in the first call. Very thorough. Talk through your relevant experience and any pertinent questions. Not much more to say.
